Two Former FBI Officials Charged with Lying to Congress in Hunter Biden Probe
Two former senior FBI officials, Nikki Floris and Bradley Benavides, have been charged by the US Justice Department with lying to Congress about their involvement in investigations related to Hunter Biden. Both held leadership roles in an FBI task force addressing foreign election interference, which has since been disbanded. The charges, filed via criminal complaint shortly before the November 3 elections, allege they misled a House panel about the task force's role. Floris' lawyers deny the allegations, calling them politically motivated.
