Ron Johnson demands probe of 'scheme' to suppress Hunter Biden info
Sen. Ron Johnson says the FBI was 'weaponized' against US senators

EXCLUSIVE: Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., is demanding the Department of Justice open an internal investigation or appoint a special counsel, following new whistleblower allegations that the DOJ and FBI illegally suppressed information on Hunter Biden and that the FBI was "weaponized" against sitting members of the Senate.
The Wisconsin senator's demands come the day after Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, revealed that new "highly credible whistleblowers" at the DOJ and FBI shared information with his office detailing a "pattern of active public partisanship" at the agencies pertaining to investigations into the Trump campaign and suppression of information on the Hunter Biden probe.
Johnson, who serves as the ranking member on the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, wrote a follow-up letter Tuesday to Attorney General Merrick Garland, FBI Director Chris Wray, Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines and DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz.
In the letter, he says the new whistleblower information confirms there was a "scheme" in place among FBI officials to discount derogatory information about the president's son Hunter Biden by labeling it as "disinformation."
