OSHKOSH – On Tuesday, U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), ranking member of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, sent a letter to Department of Justice Inspector General (DOJ IG) Michael Horowitz revealing new whistleblower allegations relating to the FBI’s handling of Hunter Biden’s laptop.
The senator wrote, “Recently, my office heard from individuals with knowledge of the FBI’s apparent corruption. After the FBI obtained the Hunter Biden laptop from the Wilmington, DE computer shop, these whistleblowers stated that local FBI leadership told employees, ‘you will not look at that Hunter Biden laptop’ and that the FBI is ‘not going to change the outcome of the election again.’”
The senator called on the DOJ IG to “take immediate steps to investigate the FBI’s actions regarding the laptop.” Sen. Johnson wrote, “I hope you understand that the longer your office stands on the sidelines and delays investigating the FBI’s actions, the harder it will be for you to uncover the truth and hold individuals accountable for wrongdoing.”
In October 2020, the senator led the call for the DOJ IG to investigate the FBI’s handling of Hunter Biden’s laptop, but Inspector General Horowitz declined, citing an ongoing U.S. Attorney’s Office investigation.
