A Senate Republican leader has raised new questions about the FBI’s actions in the wake of news about alleged conflicts of interests involving former Vice President Joe Biden, his son Hunter, and foreign influence and business opportunities.
A whistleblower says that many months ago, he provided the FBI contents of a laptop computer once used by Hunter Biden.
That’s according to a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray sent today by Chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.). The letter states that an unnamed whistleblower contacted Sen. Johnson’s committee on September 24, a day after the committee released its investigation into alleged Biden conflicts of interest.
The whistleblower reported he had turned over the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop December 9, 2019 in response to a grand jury subpoena issued by the FBI from the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. Delaware is the Bidens’ home state.
In the letter today, Sen. Johnson says that he and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) asked the FBI about facts alleged by the whistleblower but the FBI stonewalled. That despite the fact that Johnson says several of their questions were not related to confidential information regarding “the possible existence of an ongoing grand jury investigation.”
A New York Post article this week reported about emails that it said were obtained from Hunter Biden’s laptop. There are long-standing allegations that Hunter Biden and others in the Biden family have improperly traded on Joe Biden’s influence as a public official. The questioned dealings include large payments from Russians and Chinese. The Bidens have repeatedly denied any impropriety.
Sen. Johnson is now giving the FBI until Thursday to answer questions including: whether it has material from Hunter Biden’s laptop(s); if so, how and when it was obtained; has the FBI concluded its examination of the material and/or found evidence of criminal activity; and what other agencies may have the material.
The Post article was censored by Twitter, sparking demands from Republicans in Congress for Twitter chief Jack Dorsey, and other big tech CEOs, to testify and explain their increasingly heavy-handed censorship of select information.
Our leading investigating agency is acting more like the KGB than the FBI
Here is a link to part 1 of a very important investigation into the Bidens Ukraine connection done by a French investigative journalist about a year ago. Very deep dive into the people involved. It is a long 4 part series and worth the time to see them all particularly part 3 in which they take a deep dive into exactly how the US media have misrepresented and lied about the affair by examining how the WaComPost and others used out of context quotes to change the meaning of what the principles said.
If you want to know the truth of UkraineGate take a look.

Did the FBI obtain the computer itself or only a copy of its contents. If it’s the latter, that opens up a “manufactured evidence” defense.
These people will stop at nothing until they implement their New World Order , lead by George Sorros.
We are fighting on all front..this is a real war..they will silence us…they are doing it now…Communism 101…take the peoples voices…
If anyone needs a physical example of the “deep state”, it’s the FBI.
Send the guilty ones to Gitmo for military tribunals. Execute these traitors. The Enemy Within should be hanged publicly.
I have a mind to calling for the defunding of the FBI, but I think a better idea would be to call in an independent investigative agency, (like maybe from Uganda or Costa Rica), and hand them the keys to everything. They would have the pleasure of exposing every crooked cop and political op and have the good American people in their debt.
Trump should fire Wray NOW.
Remember the big fit the democrats threw when he fired Comey? What are they going to do with 17 days away from the election.
Wray and Haspel both need to be fired for insubordination, there is still time for the documents to be declassified! ASAP, Without President Trump they will all go away! Theres got to be some way to let him know We have a right to know!!! Wray and Haspel are interfering with the election by not allowing us to have the information!
In a heart beat.,
Yes today
He needs to keep everything status quo until Nov. 3rd. Nov 4th, send Wray packing. He’s an insider part of the deep state.
Why give the FBI until Thursday?
Wray knows the answers – he should be required to answer by 09:00 Monday.
the true purpose of the FBI is not to solve crimes, but to make sure the most severe crimes ARE NEVER SOLVED!
I can not believe Christopher Wray is still at the F.B.I. he is deep state, I would probably get rid of the top 25% of F.B.I. just to be sure you got all the rats
The FBI is corrupt as is the IRS. The Biden crime family should be knee deep in tax evasion to the tune of millions with all this graft going on from China, Russia, Ukraine, and who knows where else.
Are you kidding me calling the FBI more corrupt than the Trump administration that’s a stretch and you know it total misinformation as I’ve read they really don’t know were this computer came from and if it was even Hunter Bidens that would certainly be a reason not to go public until they really have a good idea if it’s fake anything to do with Rudy cannot be trusted
Looks to me like the laptop was secured by the fbi & hidden during Impeachment
yup
The FBI IS MORE CORRUPT THAN THE BIDENS. This is our republic going down the drain people. Hundreds of billions siphoned off every year by these urinals while we go deeper in dept and we have Americans running around with their heads in the sand….TRUMP 2020…and stand with him or it’s all gone
I’m in total agreement! FBI and CIA and any other agencies like these need to be investigated. It’s not just the top layer anymore which is corrupt. The corruption is. Now the culture and people know by becoming political this is how they get promoted. Where is the DOJ on all this
Absolutely right.
The FBI hanging in near silence at many months in of having computer information suggests they’d have concluded and commented by now if nothing is of consequence or there’s a pretty involved investigation on-going.
According to a time-line I saw on another site, the computer was turned over to the FBI sometime during or shortly after APRIL, 2019. Regardless of whether it was then or in December, the FBI has apparently had it for months and said nothing publicly. But – surprise! – just as the information becomes public through separate channels, the FBI suddenly announces that it is investigating the matter not as evidence of possible Biden corruption, but as possible “foreign (read, “Russian!!!”) disinformation, and the left immediately ran with that talking point. This has a bad smell to it – has anything changed at the FBI?
No! Giuliani and his lawyer got a duplicate hard drive in April of 2020.
Well said. The FBI better be held accountable for telling us what they have since when amd why they have been sitting on it for almost a year now. FBI needs to be investigated! Trump 2020 ??
Dear Sharyl,
My congratulations! If not for your (and John Solomon’s) journalism…there would be NO JOURNALISM AT ALL!
Another GREAT job!
Thank U, so proud of ur journalist
Keep up the great job. N God bless ????
So, Johnson just inconsequentially asks the FBI if there might be something that looks or might be considered ‘criminal’ on the laptop ?? How indolent. That’s the most idle and unconcerned request for information in light of an obvious FBI cover up, I’ve ever heard. Johnson should have LIT HIM UP!!
This whole event is STARTLING !! It’s history changing! It’s going to cost Wray is job ! But all we get from Johnson is a polite casual request for the FBI to give a heads up if something ‘naughty’ was found?? This is why Soros has been able to take this country to ruin….
Sharyl,
Please make your voice heard loud and clear on this Hunter/Joe Biden influence peddling scandal. Not only is this a treasonous action, it has exposed sinister elements within the government deep state that are accountable to no one. Combined with the corrupt Leftist media, our very freedoms as Americans are under attack.
When the story first broke it was said that the owner of the computer shop had also put a call in to Republican Senator Ron Johnson, when the FBI did not get back to him. The call from Johnson was never returned.
Do you know if this is true? If so Ron Johnson is the last person we can count on.
Congress seems like a paper tiger. I think BHO learned that in his time in the Senate. Hold hearings, give interviews, write books, issue supeana and no one is prosecuted for crimes committed to overthrow the current government.
It’s like living n a bad movie! I pray patriots are planning to run for offices to stop this madness after the ‘civil war’!
