A 2022 report by the House Judiciary Committee revealed allegations of misconduct and political bias within the FBI.
According to the report, the FBI manipulates data to fit a narrative and removes employees with right-leaning views.
“The Federal Bureau of Investigation, under the stewardship of Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland, is broken,” the report reads. “The problem lies not with the majority of front-line agents who serve our country, but with the FBI’s politicized bureaucracy.”
