House Committee Investigates FBI's Treatment of Whistleblower Agent

The House Judiciary Committee has raised concerns about the FBI's handling of a whistleblower case, according to a letter sent to FBI Director Kash Patel. Committee Chair Jim Jordan and Representative Jen Kiggans allege that the FBI potentially retaliated against Special Agent Valentine Fertitta after he reported concerns about the agency's use of law enforcement authorities. The committee claims the FBI used the security clearance evaluation process in a manner that circumvented whistleblower protections.
