According to Senator Ron Johnson, the FBI told agents not to investigate Hunter Biden's laptop ahead of the 2020 presidential election.

The claims were included in Johnson's letter to the inspector general.

The senator wrote that the new allegations provided more evidence of FBI corruption and renewed calls for an investigation into the laptop case.

According to Johnson, individuals with knowledge of the FBI's apparent corruption told his office that FBI officials undermined efforts to investigate the son of the president.

After the FBI obtained the Hunter Biden laptop, the local FBI leadership told employees that they would not change the outcome of the election.

The FBI reopened its investigation into Hillary Clinton's private email server days before the presidential election, which the Democrats say contributed to her loss.

Johnson claims that the FBI did not start to review the contents of the younger Biden's laptop until after the 2020 election.

Johnson ends his letter with a call for an investigation of the FBI's response.

It is clear to me that the FBI cannot be trusted with the handling of Hunter Biden's laptop because of the many credible whistle blowers that have come forward.

The history of the investigative actions taken by the FBI on Hunter Biden's laptop should be made available on the FBI's case management system.

When the New York Post first reported on some of the contents of the laptops, a group of more than 50 former senior intelligence officials dismissed the story as Russian propaganda.

Key files from the laptop have been verified by the New York Times.

An email claimed to detail a business arrangement between a Chinese company and the Biden family.

Tony Bobulinski, who is listed as a recipient of the email first published by the New York Post, offered further detail last year in a statement to Fox News on the correspondence in October 2020.

According to Bobulinski, the reference to the Big Guy in the email was a reference to Joe Biden.

Sinohawk was a partnership between the Chinese and the Bidens.
