House Republicans said Tuesday that the FBI suspended a whistleblower who pushed back against the bureau’s handling of Jan. 6 Capitol breach investigations.

“The FBI SUSPENDED a whistleblower for refusing to carry out the Bureau’s politicized investigations,” House Judiciary Republicans wrote on Twitter. It did not provide more details, including the identity of the alleged whistleblower or why the person was suspended.
