The newspaper referred to Republican Senator Ron Johnson's letter to Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz, in which the GOP member in particular cited "individuals with knowledge" as saying that "local FBI leadership" had slow-walked the laptop investigation after the computer was recovered from a Delaware repair shop in December 2019.The senator argued that FBI management told the agency's employees that "you will not look at that Hunter Biden laptop," vowing that the agency was "not going to change the outcome of the [2020] election again," in an apparent nod to the FBI reopening the investigation into former Secretary of State and ex-Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton's private email server days before the 2016 election.
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) sent a letter to DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz on Tuesday about the new whistleblower claims, following disclosures made public last month about the bureau allegedly wrongly labeling Hunter Biden evidence as "disinformation" in 2020.
