Former FBI Agent Refuses Cooperation with GOP’s Probe into Bureau’s Handing of Hunter’s LaptopWendell Husebø 18 Oct 2022
Former FBI agent Timothy Thibault refused last week to cooperate with House Republicans’ probe into the bureau’s handling of Hunter Biden’s “Laptop from Hell” investigation.
“Concerning the request for an interview, because the subject matter pertains to sensitive law enforcement information and/or pending investigations, our client is not in a position to accept this invitation at this juncture,” Thibault’s attorney responded to the House Judiciary Committee on October 7.
“Our client is now retired from the Federal Bureau of Investigation. … As such, he no longer possesses an FBI laptop or mobile device, and he no longer has access to the FBI’s records and materials,” the letter added.
Thibault left the bureau in August after being accused of bias in handling the laptop investigation.

House and Senate Republicans plan to aggressively investigate the Biden family if they retake the House and Senate in November.
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) believes Thibault “shut down” a probe into Hunter’s laptop that is likely unrelated to the ongoing criminal probe concerning reported tax fraud by the president’s son. It is unknown if the prosecutors will have the opportunity to charge Hunter with any alleged crimes with “voluminous evidence” found on the laptop.
“FBI officials wanted to take action with respect to this separate investigative information the FBI had in its possession related to Hunter Biden. However, Thibault blocked the FBI from doing what would normally be done,” Grassley explained on the Senate floor in September.
