FBI agent says Biden transition team, Secret Service were tipped off on 2020 plans to interview Hunter Biden
Comer says this reveals the DOJ 'misconduct' in Biden criminal investigation under US Attorney Weiss
By Brooke Singman | Fox News
EXCLUSIVE: An FBI supervisory special agent told congressional investigators that the Biden transition team and Secret Service headquarters were tipped off in December 2020 about a planned interview of Hunter Biden—a tip-off that resulted in the interview of then-President-elect Joe Biden’s son not taking place at all, even while he was labeled the target of the yearslong federal investigation.
The agent, who worked for the FBI for more than two decades and retired from the bureau last year, participated in a transcribed interview under oath behind closed doors at the House Oversight Committee last month.
Fox News Digital exclusively obtained the transcript of the FBI supervisory special agent’s interview, which took place on July 17.
His testimony came amid whistleblower allegations that prosecutorial decisions made throughout the Hunter Biden investigation, led by U.S. attorney David Weiss, were influenced by politics. IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley testified that the Biden transition team and the Secret Service were "tipped off" about the planned interview of Hunter Biden. The agent corroborates Shapley's testimony.
Attorney General Merrick Garland last week sought to clear the cloud of alleged politicization from the investigation into the president’s son, who pleaded not guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges and a felony gun charge after an orchestrated plea deal with the Justice Department fell apart in federal court on grounds of unconstitutionality.
