The FBI agent leading the investigation into the second Trump assassination attempt was probed for allegedly targeting conservative agents for their viewpoints and retaliating against them for making protected disclosures as whistleblowers, according to a new letter delivered to Congress by a government watchdog which represents several FBI whistleblowers.
The group—Empower Oversight—sent the letter to House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan Thursday ahead of a planned hearing in the Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government on September 25 about the retaliation allegations.
