WASHINGTON (TND) — There is a new round of questions from GOP lawmakers after whistleblowers from inside the Federal Bureau of Investigation now say the agency waited nearly a year before examining the contents of a laptop purportedly belonging to then-candidate Joe Biden’s son, Hunter.
That whistleblower allegedly came to the office of Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., laying out the accusations.
In an interview Monday, Johnson told Sinclair that it shows the FBI has become weaponized.
"If you turn a blind eye toward one individual with ties to one political party and you aggressively go after others of the opponent party, that’s a real problem. That’s a real danger to our democracy," he said.
"These new allegations provide even more evidence of FBI corruption and renew calls for you to take immediate steps to investigate the FBI’s actions regarding the laptop," Johnson argued in a letter sent to Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz.
He is asking Horowitz to look into accusations that FBI leadership told employees, "you will not look at that Hunter Biden laptop," adding, "the FBI is not going to change the outcome of the election again.”
“They definitely had an impact on the 2020 election, downplaying Hunter Biden. We’ve seen polls because the suppression of information, had Americans seen that, Joe Biden would not be president today," Johnson said.
