FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge Timothy Thibault retired over the weekend, per Fox News. He was escorted out of the building following his resignation, according to a source.
Thibault’s name spent considerable time in the news after it emerged that he may have used his position to interfere with the Hunter Biden investigation.
Senate Judiciary ranking member Chuck Grassley personally named Thibault in a July 18 letter he had written to FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland, in which he demanded an explanation for what whistleblowers described as a pattern of political bias from high-ranking officials.
“As you are aware, Assistant Special Agent in Charge Tim Thibault is not the only politically biased FBI agent at the Washington Field Office,” the letter stated. He added that “the FBI answers to Congress and the American people.”
Grassley gave Wray a deadline of Aug. 31 to respond to his letter, in which he also demanded a full breakdown of the structure of the Washington Field Office, including who is responsible for the units and squads within the office.
In a touch of irony, Thibault was featured in a video posted by the FBI in October of 2020, in which he described how the FBI protects election integrity.

Way too little way too late.
The FBI is as clean as the wind driven snow. They are above reproach.
He didn’t retire he was forced out.
The agent retired after 25 years with the FBI. Is there any evidence that he was forced to retire?
Hunter Biden did nothing wrong and will not be investigated.
