The FBI allegedly told a former supervisory agent working on the Hunter Biden probe to ignore some questions from the House Oversight Committee, according to the former agent.
FBI General Counsel Jason Jones sent a letter to deliver the message. The agent’s letter arrived the night before their scheduled testimony.
According to a letter sent by Jones, the FBI informed that they were counting on the agent to remain silent on matters involving sensitive material that is not yet public. This covered any discussion or inquiry related to law enforcement that was currently underway.
In response to the former agent’s questions, Jones suggested he contact the FBI’s Office of Congressional Affairs.
