<p>House Judiciary Committee Republicans said Thursday that a top former <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/fbi">FBI</a> official must testify before Congress to address whistleblower claims alleging the Biden administration pressured agents to inflate domestic violent extremism (DVE) cases.</p>
<p>Representatives sent a letter to Jill Sanborn, a former Assistant Director of the FBI Counterterrorism Division and Executive Assistant Director of the National Security Branch, who the whistleblower accused as one the top officials exerting pressure on agents.</p>
<p>House representatives said the former FBI official would sit down for a transcribed interview with committee members &#8220;investigating several allegations concerning the politicization of the FBI.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Whistleblower disclosures made by multiple FBI employees from different field offices suggest that FBI agents are bolstering the number of cases of DVEs to satisfy their supervisors,&#8221; House GOP Reps. Jim Jordan (OH) and Mike Johnson (LA) wrote.</p>
<p>While Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has said domestic violent extremism is the &#8220;greatest threat&#8221; to the United States, whistleblowers have sounded the alarm about the corruption and weaponization of the alphabet agency since the Biden administration took office in 2021.</p>
<p>One example the lawmakers shared explained that FBI officials allegedly &#8220;encouraged and incentivized&#8221; agents to reclassify such cases because the bureau was not finding enough, &#8220;even though there is minimal, circumstantial evidence to support the reclassification.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Another whistleblower stated that a field office Counterterrorism Assistant Special Agent in Charge and the FBI&#8217;s then Assistant Director of the Counterterrorism Division pressured agents to move cases into the DVE category to hit self-created performance metrics,&#8221; GOP officials said to Sanborn. &#8220;This whistleblower identified you as one official who exerted pressure on agents to reclassify cases as DVE matters.&#8221;</p>
<p>According to the GOP House members, Sandborn served in the agency from January 2020 to April 2021.</p>
<p>The Washington Times <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/oct/20/ex-fbi-official-testify-about-claims-wh-pressured-/">reported</a> that former and current top FBI leaders &#8220;have already determined that White supremacy is a problem,&#8221; adding they have already begun reclassifying cases to fit that narrative.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are sort of the lapdogs as the actual agents doing these sorts of investigations, trying to find a crime to fit otherwise First Amendment-protected activities,&#8221; one whistleblower told <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/oct/20/ex-fbi-official-testify-about-claims-wh-pressured-/">The Washington Times</a>. &#8220;If they have a Gadsden flag, and they own guns, and they are mean at school board meetings, that&#8217;s probably a domestic terrorist.&#8221;</p>
<p>An FBI spokesperson declined to comment on if Ms. Sanborn agreed to testify, per The Washington Times.</p>
<p>The news comes off the heels of several ongoing accusations that the Biden administration weaponized the agency against the American people.</p>
<p>From storming former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home, targeting pro-life activists for standing up for unborn children, and allegedly contacting Facebook-creator Mark Zuckerberg to suppress Hunter Biden&#8217;s laptop ahead of the 2020 Presidential Election — the latest revelations alleged by whistleblowers have only fanned the flames for public and private citizens calling to dismantle the bureau.</p>
<p>Last month, FBI officials <a href="https://republicans-judiciary.house.gov/press-release/fbi-labeled-veteran-led-disaster-organization-a-terror-group-over-government-criticism-whistleblower-says/">told</a> GOP House members that the bureau focuses only on those &#8220;who commit or intend to commit violence and criminal activity that constitutes a federal crime or poses a threat to national security.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We cannot and do not investigate ideology,&#8221; the bureau <a href="https://republicans-judiciary.house.gov/press-release/fbi-labeled-veteran-led-disaster-organization-a-terror-group-over-government-criticism-whistleblower-says/">said</a>. &#8220;The FBI&#8217;s mission is to protect the American people and uphold the Constitution. One does not come at the expense of the other.&#8221;</p>
<p>House Judiciary Committee members will interview Sanborn on Dec. 2.</p>
