Washington, D.C. – Today, Senator Marshall, M.D. joined 24 of his Senate Republicans in calling on the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to commit to protecting agency whistleblowers that disclosed the existence of FBI records alleging a criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Biden and a foreign national.
“Whistleblowers have and continue to play a vital role in exposing government misconduct at all levels. Without whistleblowers, Congress would have never known the existence of the unclassified FD-1023 form involving an alleged multi-million dollar bribery scheme between then-Vice President Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, and a foreign national,” the lawmakers wrote.
“Accordingly, we demand that you commit that no taxpayer funds will be used by DOJ or FBI to expose the identity of or retaliate against any whistleblowers,” the lawmakers continued.
Federal law prohibits agencies from retaliating against employees for whistleblowing. The senators are seeking commitments from Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Chris Wray to follow this law.
