A federal judge dismissed the case against two former FBI officials accused of lying to Congress about the Hunter Biden investigation. U.S. District Judge Zia Faruqui delivered a sharp rebuke of the prosecution Monday, accusing the Trump administration of weaponizing the justice system.
Faruqui dismissed the case against former FBI officials Floris and Benavides from the bench after an hour of criticism regarding the government's handling of the prosecution. "What has transpired here cannot be described as anything other than weaponization," Faruqui stated, characterizing the case as a "rush job" directed by former President Donald Trump and FBI Director Kash Patel.
