Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley released FBI whistleblower records revealing that an anti-Trump agent played a key role in former Special Counsel Jack Smith's 2020 case against President Donald Trump. The records, shared with Fox News, show that FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge Timothy Thibault, who was later fired for violating the Hatch Act, initiated the investigation and connected Trump to it without sufficient evidence. Grassley and Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) argue that these documents demonstrate the case's problematic origins and raise questions about the impartiality of the investigation.

The correspondence shows the whistleblower alleging the anti-Trump agent broke protocol and played a crucial role in opening and advancing the FBI’s initial probe into the 2020 election by connecting Trump to the investigation without sufficient predication. Other whistleblowers have cited Thibault’s alleged “partisanship,” which they said likely impacted investigations involving President Trump and Hunter Biden.
Sources also noted to Fox News that Thibault was unauthorized to open criminal investigations, as he was not a special agent, yet he took action to open the investigation and involve Trump anyway.
