Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee who sought the cooperation of a former FBI agent into allegations of abuse and misconduct within his agency, particularly surrounding the Hunter Biden investigation, say there’s “no rationale or legal basis” for him to refuse a request for testimony.
Timothy Thibault, who left the FBI in August, is being accused by Republican senators of having a partisan bias against former President Donald Trump and slow-walking the agency’s investigation into Hunter Biden in 2020. In late September, three Judiciary Committee Republicans sent a letter to Thibault, requesting the former agent submit to a transcribed interview, saying that his testimony was necessary for their oversight of the Justice Department and the FBI.
