Sen. Charles Grassley said at a Wednesday hearing with Attorney General Merrick Garland that more than a dozen 'whistleblowers' have provided 'potentially criminal' information about Hunter Biden to the FBI.
The Republican from Iowa told Garland - who was testifying on Capitol Hill for the first time this year - that the Justice Department must review the president's son, who was subject to a federal probe involving tax matters and a potentially false statement on a form for a gun purchase.
'Recent lawfully protected whistleblower disclosures to my office indicate that the Justice Department and FBI had at one time over a dozen sources that provided potentially criminal information relating to Hunter Biden,' said Grassley, who has a long record of dealing with whistleblowers in the Senate.
It came during a tense hearing where Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) blasted Garland for the failure to arrest abortion rights protesters outside the homes of Supreme Court justices.
