One of House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan's, R-Ohio, so-called FBI "whistleblowers" is facing questions about whether he lied under oath about receiving financial support from longtime Trump ally Kash Patel, according to The Guardian.
Former FBI agent Garrett O'Boyle testified last week in Jordan's investigation into what Republicans have called the "weaponization" of agencies like the FBI against conservatives. Rep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., asked O'Boyle during the hearing whether Patel was helping to fund his legal defense.
"Not that I'm aware of," O'Boyle replied.
However, during a February interview with the House of Representatives weaponization subcommittee, O'Boyle stated that his legal fees were being paid for by Fight With Kash, or the Kash Foundation, a nonprofit organization helmed by Patel, according to The Guardian.
Additionally, a Democratic staff report published in March indicated that Patel had appointed former Trump attorney Jesse Binnall to be O'Boyle's counsel. The Guardian reported that Binnall is on the board of directors for the Kash Foundation.
