A confidential FBI record indicates that Ukrainian oligarch Mykola Zlochevsky, the owner of Burisma, referred to President Joe Biden as the “big guy.”
According to sources familiar with the FBI record, Zlochevsky discussed an alleged bribe of $5 million to Joe Biden and an additional $5 million to Hunter Biden. The conversation took place years before the date of the FBI form, as reported by the Washington Examiner.
The sources further stated that Zlochevsky believed that unraveling the alleged bribery scheme would be challenging due to the involvement of multiple bank accounts, potentially taking up to 10 years.

It is worth noting that Zlochevsky’s reference to Joe Biden as the “big guy” in this context is unrelated to the mention of the same term by a business associate of Hunter Biden during negotiations with Chinese individuals with links to intelligence agencies. This reference surfaced in a previously undisclosed May 2017 email that became public in October 2020.
The existence of the FD-1023 document related to Ukraine came to light in 2022 when whistleblowers revealed it to Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA). In October, Grassley urged the Justice Department and FBI to provide all relevant records, including those referencing Mykola Zlochevsky, Hunter Biden, James Biden, and Joe Biden.
To address concerns over non-compliance with a subpoena, FBI Director Christopher Wray permitted committee members to review the FD-1023 on Thursday.
House Republicans have claimed that the alleged bribery scheme is connected to Joe Biden’s efforts as vice president to pressure the Ukrainian government to dismiss Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin. Republicans contend that the FBI form suggests the bribes aimed to hinder a corruption investigation.
In October, Grassley asserted that the FBI possessed “voluminous evidence” of potential criminal conduct by Hunter Biden in relation to his business dealings in China and Ukraine. Whistleblower disclosures on these matters were sent to Wray, Delaware federal prosecutor David Weiss, and Attorney General Merrick Garland.
The whistleblower allegations involve Hunter Biden’s overseas business dealings with the Chinese government-linked energy conglomerate CEFC China Energy, as well as his involvement with Burisma. Hunter Biden joined the board of Burisma, a Ukrainian energy giant, in 2014 and reportedly received monthly payments of $50,000 or more.
In 2020, Grassley and Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) released a joint report that focused on then-Vice President Joe Biden’s role in shaping the Obama administration’s Ukraine policy while Hunter Biden served on the Burisma board.
President Donald Trump mentioned Burisma in a July 2019 call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, leading to a whistleblower complaint and subsequent Democratic-led impeachment proceedings in the House. Democrats argued that Shokin was not genuinely investigating Burisma, while Republicans claimed otherwise.
