EXCLUSIVE — Heritage appealed the FBI’s rejection of its Freedom of Information Act request on former FBI agent Timothy Thibault after the bureau refused to say if it had information about the ex-official tied to the Hunter Biden saga.
The Heritage Foundation sought details from the FBI about the ex-bureau agent, who allegedly sought to shut down an element of the investigation into Hunter Biden, but records provided to the Washington Examiner show its information requests were denied.
The FBI responded to the Heritage Foundation’s FOIA last week by claiming the bureau “will neither confirm nor deny the existence of such records” and citing a number of exemptions, contending that “the mere acknowledgment of the existence of FBI records on third party individuals could reasonably be expected to constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.”
“The request details, at length, serious and credible allegations from knowledgeable whistleblowers to Congress that ASAC Thibault has let his political biases affect some of the most high-profile FBI investigations in decades,” Howell wrote. “His alleged girlfriend’s posts on social media intimate that not only are the whistleblowers not credible, but their identities will soon be known to the public.
“There have also been allegations that Mr. Thibault took certain actions in investigations for partisan political reasons,” Thibault’s attorneys said. “Mr. Thibault welcomes any investigation of these false allegations, regardless of his retirement. He firmly believes that any investigation will conclude his supervision, leadership, and decision-making were not impacted by political bias or partisanship of any kind.
“Mr. Thibault’s blatant partisanship undermined the work and reputation of the FBI. This type of bias in high-profile investigations casts a shadow over all of the bureau’s work that he was involved in, which ranged from opening an investigation into Trump based on liberal news articles to shutting down investigative activity into Hunter Biden that was based on verified information,” Grassley told the Washington Examiner last year.
