Judge dismisses criminal case against two ex-FBI officials over Hunter Biden testimony
A judge has dismissed a criminal complaint against two former FBI officials accused of lying to Congress about Hunter Biden, according to The Associated Press. The ruling ends the case against both men, though the judge's reasoning wasn't immediately spelled out.
A federal judge has thrown out a criminal complaint against two former FBI officials who were accused of lying to Congress about Hunter Biden, according to The Associated Press, which broke the news. The dismissal wipes out the case against both men in one stroke.
The charges centered on allegations that the two ex-agents misled lawmakers during testimony tied to Hunter Biden. Now a judge has decided the complaint doesn't stand, ending that pursuit.
The AP did not immediately detail the judge's reasoning or which court issued the ruling. Expect more specifics to surface as the order becomes public.
The decision lands in the middle of a long-running fight over how investigators handled matters connected to the president's son. For the two former officials, the immediate result is the same: the case is gone.
