TL;DR Summary

Two former FBI agents accused the bureau of retaliation for their conservative political beliefs during a hearing of the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponisation of the Federal Government. They also admitted to receiving money from ex-Trump aide Kash Patel. The hearing, chaired by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, focused on allegations that the FBI unlawfully retaliated against whistleblowers who complained about the bureau's treatment of suspects charged with crimes stemming from the January 6 attack on the Capitol. Democrats criticized the hearing, saying it was an example of Republicans doing Trump's bidding.
