House Republicans said that recent allegations from whistleblowers regarding the FBI’s management and executives will be investigated.
Analysts say it’s likely the Republican Party will make the majority in the lower chamber after the 2022 midterms. Historically, the party of the president tends to lose House seats, and Democrats have a slim advantage.
“These new allegations are appalling, and continue to demonstrate that the FBI‘s culture has gone off the rails,” Rep. Dan Bishop (R-N.C.) told The Washington Times. “New FBI whistleblowers are coming forward at a rapid pace, and my Republican colleagues and I on the Judiciary committee will leave no stone unturned.”
The Epoch Times has contacted the FBI for comment.
“All FBI employees are held to the highest standards of professional and ethical conduct. Allegations of misconduct are taken seriously and referred to the Inspection Division or the Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General. Through the disciplinary process, the FBI will continue to hold employees accountable for any substantiated misconduct,” the FBI said in a statement about the recent whistleblower allegations.
Another, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), said that he’s also received whistleblower complaints in recent days that warrant an investigation.
