House GOP send third letter to ex-FBI agent about pressure to classify cases as "domestic violent extremism"

House Republicans on the Judiciary Committee are demanding for former FBI agent Timothy Thibault to appear for an interview after whistleblowers alleged that he pressured agents to reclassify cases as “domestic violent extremism” despite minimal support to do so.

“[W]histleblowers allege that you pressured line agents to reclassify cases as ‘domestic violent extremism’ even though there was minimal, circumstantial evidence to support a reclassification,” Republican Reps. Jim Jordan, Darrell Issa and Mike Johnson wrote in a letter Friday to Thiebault.

“Other whistleblowers have disclosed that you were part of a scheme to undermine and discredit allegations of criminal wrongdoing by members of the Biden family,” the Republicans said.

House Judiciary Republicans have sent two other letters asking Thibault to testify, once in September and again in October. Thibault, who said he retired in August, has declined to be interviewed despite his attorneys previously saying he “welcomes any investigation.”
