Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., wrote a letter demanding the DOJ open an investigation into potential political targeting from the FBI upon hearing whistleblower claims the FBI actively worked to protect Hunter Biden amidst Johnson’s investigations into him.

The letter, addressed to Attorney General Merrick Garland, FBI Director Chris Wray, Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines, and DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz, expressed serious concerns that the FBI “intentionally discredit[ed]” Johnson and Sen. Chuck Grassley’s investigations into Hunter Biden’s shady foreign entanglements.

Johnson referenced a previous letter in which Grassley alleged “there was a scheme in place among certain FBI officials to undermine derogatory information connected to Hunter Biden by falsely suggesting it was disinformation,” according to whistleblower reports.
