FBI Director Christopher Wray told a Senate panel Thursday that the bureau will take steps to protect whistleblowers, after current and former Justice Department and FBI employees alleged that agents illegally suppressed information about Hunter Biden in a criminal probe.
Testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Mr. Wray did not address specific allegations related to the Hunter Biden case, but spoke in general terms about protecting whistleblowers.
“We will be scrupulous in our adherence to rules related to whistleblowers,” Mr. Wray said. “If there are allegations of misconduct by FBI employees, we want to make sure that we get that information so we can use the tools we have to go after that conduct.
