The letter referred to whistleblower disclosures made by "Multiple FBI employees from different field offices" that allege that President Joe Biden's political objectives influence the day-to-day operations of the nation's highest law-enforcement agency, deliberately skewing the bureau's investigations of what it considers "Domestic Violence Extremism."
It comes only days after the senior Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, went public with similar charges of FBI politicization related to its treatment of former President Donald Trump's administration and potential investigations of President Je Biden's son, Hunter Biden.
"From recent protected disclosures, we have learned that FBI officials are pressuring agents to reclassify cases as 'domestic violence extremism' even if the cases do not meet the criteria for such a classification," the letter states.
"Given the narrative pushed by the Biden Administration that domestic violence extremism is the 'greatest' threat facing our country, the revelation that the FBI may be artificially padding domestic terrorism data is scandalous."
"We have received accusations that FBI agents are bolstering the number of cases of DVEs to satisfy their superiors. For example, one whistle-blower explained that because agents are not finding enough DVE cases, they are encouraged and incentivized to reclassify cases as DVE cases even though there is minimal, circumstantial evidence to support the reclassification," the letter stated.
"Another whistleblower - who led at least one high-profile domestic terrorism investigation - stated that a field office Counterterrorism Assistant Special Agent in Charge and the FBI's Director of the Counterterrorism Division have pressured agents to move cases into the DVE category to hit self-created performance metrics. According to whistleblowers, the FBI uses these metrics to dispense awards and promotions. Every whistleblower has called it an environment of 'pressure' within the FBI.".
He further reiterates that the GOP committee members' concerns, such as the FBI's politicization under Wray's leadership as well as allegations revealed in June of the Biden FBI conducting a "Purge" of bureau employees holding conservative views.
