Sen. Chuck Grassley attacks 'political interference' in the FBI

Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, attacked the FBI’s alleged bias towards Democrats while appearing on "Sunday Night in America."

Host Trey Gowdy introduced the senator following members of the Senate Judiciary Committee calling on FBI Director Christopher Wray to answer questions regarding new allegations of bias in his department. This came after Grassley received information from "highly credible whistleblowers" in the FBI and Department of Justice.

"Whistleblowers coming to me and I listen to a lot of whistleblowers because they know where the bodies are buried," Grassley said.

He explained that several employees, most notably Assistant Special Agent in Charge Timothy Thibault, would publicly post hostile messages against conservatives and former President Trump on social media. In addition, he would allegedly open investigations against Trump and other conservatives based on media reports.

"You do not let an investigation go ahead on just fuzzy newspaper reports," Grassley commented.

Most notably, FBI employees like Thibault previously insisted in 2020 that claims regarding Hunter Biden’s laptop were "disinformation" and refused to investigate the matter during the election year. In fact, the FBI at the time accused GOP lawmakers of advancing "foreign disinformation" by investigating Hunter Biden’s laptop.
