In remarks on the Senate floor, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) on Monday warned that alleged political bias in the FBI was hurting the bureau’s trust among Americans.

“Whistleblowers have told my office that the FBI maintains many sources that have provided extensive information on Hunter Biden. That information allegedly involves potential criminal activity such as money laundering,” he said from the Senate floor on Monday. “That’s the same criminal concern that Senator [Ron] Johnson and I raised in our 2020 Biden reports. According to allegations, the underlying information was verified and verifiable. However, instead of green-lighting investigative activity, the FBI shut it down.”
