FBI whistleblowers face political scrutiny and backlash.

Rep. Linda Sanchez attempted to link a random Twitter user's actions to an FBI whistleblower with the same name during a House Judiciary Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government hearing. The attempt failed as the whistleblower denied owning the account. The hearing was focused on testimony from three FBI whistleblowers who claimed the agency targeted pro-life groups, Catholics, and parents attending school board meetings with investigations. Sanchez's attempt drew backlash from House Republicans, including Troy Nehls and Matt Gaetz, who pointed out the existence of multiple Twitter accounts with the same name.
