FBI lawyer cautions agent against answering GOP queries on Hunter Biden probe.

An FBI Attorney Warns Agent-Turned-Whistleblower‌ Not to Answer GOP Committee’s Questions

An FBI attorney sent a ⁣warning to‌ an⁢ agent-turned-whistleblower⁣ who ​had been investigating ⁢Hunter Biden. The ‌agent was scheduled to testify before ⁤the⁣ GOP-run House Oversight Committee, which is looking into allegations⁢ that the⁢ FBI and‌ the​ Department‌ of Justice intentionally undermined their​ own⁤ case against​ the president’s son.

The letter, sent by FBI general counsel Jason Jones,​ was⁤ delivered just‌ hours before ⁤the⁣ agent’s expected testimony. The committee is investigating claims that​ the ‌investigation into Hunter Biden’s tax and gun​ charges resulted in a⁤ lenient plea‍ deal due to manipulation.

According to⁤ the New York Post, Jones ‍wrote, ‍”The Committee has ⁣expressed ​interest ⁤in certain‌ events that occurred in ‍December 2020 during ​this investigation. Department officials, including⁢ those who have ⁤left the ‍Department,⁤ are obligated ‍to protect non-public information they obtained during their work. This ⁤information may be ‌subject to various⁤ privileges,⁤ such as‍ law enforcement,‌ deliberative ⁢process, attorney work product, ​attorney-client ‌privileges, and privacy interests.”

The⁣ letter emphasized that the agent was prohibited by​ law ‌and ‌department policy from disclosing classified ‌information, sources​ and methods, protected ​grand jury⁤ information, protected taxpayer information, and the⁤ deliberative ​processes involved⁢ in investigative and prosecutorial ⁤decisions. Jones also issued a warning, ⁤stating that ⁤the agent‍ should⁤ not ‍respond⁤ to questions seeking non-public information that could be covered‍ by executive privilege or other significant confidentiality ⁢interests.

The letter instructed the agent to defer ​to the FBI’s Office ‌of Congressional ⁤Affairs, allowing the ⁣Department of⁣ Justice to balance the committee’s need⁤ for information while protecting executive branch confidentiality‍ interests.

Confirmation of ‌Allegations ⁢by IRS‍ Whistleblowers

The House ‍Oversight Committee revealed‌ that‍ an FBI special agent‍ confirmed allegations‍ made by two IRS​ whistleblowers. The‌ agent ⁤testified ​that the Secret Service headquarters and ⁣the Biden transition team were informed ⁢in advance ‍of⁣ the IRS and FBI criminal investigators’⁢ interview with Hunter Biden in‍ December ⁢2020.

As ⁣a result,‍ the IRS and⁤ FBI investigators ⁤were ⁢unable to interview Hunter Biden‌ as part ​of⁣ their investigation.‌ The committee stated, ​”The former FBI supervisory special agent⁣ told committee investigators he had ​never been ‍told to ⁤wait outside ‌to be contacted by the subject of ​an investigation. The agent’s testimony is sickening and reveals⁤ the lengths to which the DOJ⁢ is willing to go to cover‍ up ‍for ⁣the Bidens.”

The FBI spokesperson dismissed‌ the letter as routine, stating that‍ it was a standard⁢ practice known as ⁤an authorization ⁢letter. However, another source‍ described the letter ⁤as⁤ “uncommon,” noting its ⁤last-minute⁢ delivery.
