Senator Ron Johnson has applied pressure on FBI Director Chris Wray to explain why officials have falsely claimed that the reports about Hunter Biden were considered ‘Russian propaganda.’
“Do you see any sign of Russian disinformation, [in] those reports?” Johnson asked. “That would be a hard question for me to answer. No, it’s very easy. It’s very easy. It’s a very easy answer. There is no Russian disinformation.”
During a heated exchange in the Senate on Thursday, Johnson (R-Wis.) demanded that Wray explain why the FBI suppressed information about Hunter Biden ahead of 2020 election. Wray apparently struggled to provide a straight answer to Johnson. The Republican then asked about the FBI’s handling of a probe into Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings.
Have you looked into the scheme hatched in August 2020 to downplay derogatory information on Hunter Biden? *cue bureaucratic excuse*
@FBI Director Wray: “We can’t discuss that”
Got it. I understand how you remain above the law by using that excuse repeatedly. pic.twitter.com/WRJWnw2UsR
