Circuit reviews Biden’s challenge, after he sought emergency relief claiming public disclosure would end the case and violate privacy protections.

Republicans, including Sen. Chuck Grassley, are questioning the existence and validity of 17 audio recordings of conversations between then-Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter, allegedly involving a foreign national bribing them. The recordings were mentioned in an FBI document summarizing the allegations, but investigators were unable to corroborate the claims. House Republicans have subpoenaed the document and are calling for more detail about the FBI's investigation. Democrats dismiss the allegations as politically motivated and lacking credible evidence.
Several Republicans have acknowledged that they do not know if there are tapes of Joe Biden talking about taking a bribe, despite demanding that the FBI make public a tip it received in 2020 alleging that a foreign national paid Biden $5 million and has recordings of himself talking to Biden when he was vice president. The FBI has resisted handing over a copy of the form for public consumption, maintaining that such documents contain uncorroborated information and that releasing them can endanger sources. Some Republicans have suggested that the most important question is not necessarily whether the bribe allegation is true, but whether the FBI did its due diligence investigating the derogatory material against Biden as the bureau allegedly persecutes Trump and his supporters.
