"Highly credible" whistleblowers have come forward to a senior Senate Republican alleging a widespread effort within the FBI to downplay or discredit negative information about President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, according to letters reviewed by CBS News.
CBS News first reported in April that more than 150 financial transactions involving either Hunter or James Biden's global business affairs wereas concerning by U.S. banks for further review. CBS News previously reported the U.S. attorney in Delaware has been investigating potential tax fraud, money laundering and foreign influence peddling.
In October 2020, one month before the election,"an avenue of derogatory Hunter Biden reporting was ordered closed" by a senior FBI agent at the bureau's Washington Field office. An earlier letter from Grassley identified the agent as Timothy Thibault. In that May 31 letter, Grassley also accused Thibault of likely violations of"[f]ederal laws, regulations and Federal Bureau of Investigation guidelines."
Grassley told Wray and Garland"the opening memo you approved," included media reporting citing research from a"liberal non-profit" when a full investigation of a political nature requires"a heightened factual basis."
