Two former senior FBI officials were arrested and charged with lying to Congress about their involvement in the Hunter Biden investigation.<\/p>\n
Nikki Cole Floris, 46, of Alexandria, Virginia, and Bradley Benavides, 56, of Aiken, South Carolina, were taken into custody and charged with making false statements about the Hunter Biden laptop investigation. <\/p>\n
\u201cEvidence shows that Floris discussed the FBI\u2019s investigations into Hunter Biden routinely for more than a year both within the FITF and with others in the FBI. Contrary to his assertion that he learned of the Hunter Biden laptop from Wikipedia, Benavides regularly discussed the laptop with FBI officials in the leadup to the 2020 election,\u201d the DOJ said<\/a>. <\/p>\n Full statement from Kash Patel:<\/p>\n Two former senior FBI officials, Nikki Cole Floris and Bradley Benavides, were taken into custody today on charges of allegedly lying to Congress about their involvement in the FBI\u2019s investigations into Hunter Biden.<\/p>\n The charges stem from an ongoing investigation into the since-dissolved FBI Foreign Influence Task Force.<\/p>\n Floris led the FITF as a Deputy Assistant Director from mid-2019 through mid-2022. Benavides was the FITF Section Chief from mid-2019 through the 2020 election. Both testified that the FITF was not involved in the Hunter Biden investigations. Documentary evidence, contemporaneous communications, and witness accounts contradict their testimony.<\/p>\n Floris is also on record privately claiming to be \u201crunning a shadow government\u201d during the 2020 election in her role on the FITF.<\/p>\n Lying to Congress by senior FBI officials strikes at the heart of our system. No one is above the law.<\/p>\n The FBI has already dismantled the corrupt CR-15 squad that engaged in political weaponization targeting their opponents, including President Trump.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Two former senior FBI officials, Nikki Cole Floris and Bradley Benavides, were taken into custody today on charges of allegedly lying to Congress about their involvement in the FBI\u2019s investigations into Hunter Biden.<\/p>\n The charges stem from an ongoing investigation into the since-dissolved FBI Foreign Influence Task Force.<\/p>\n Floris led the FITF as a Deputy Assistant Director from mid-2019 through mid-2022.

Today\u2019s action makes clear that no one is above the law, and we will hold accountable all who obstruct the truth,\u201d Pirro added. <\/p>\n The post BREAKING: Two Former Senior FBI Officials Arrested For Lying to Congress About Hunter Biden Investigation<\/a> appeared first on The Gateway Pundit<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Two former senior FBI officials were arrested and charged with lying to Congress about their involvement in the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-61796","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"\n\n
