FBI whistleblower says bureau's deputy director told subordinates not to publicly acknowledge Jan. 6 informants
Many FBI whistleblowers have come forward with their concerns about the bureau as Director Christopher B. Wray is testifying before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday.
According to the whistleblower disclosure sent to the committee, Mr. Abbate notified one or more of his subordinates that the more than 25 informants were too problematic or embarrassing for the FBI to have their existence made known to the public and that the existence, activities and identities of these FBI confidential human sources should not be released.
When Mr. Wray was asked whether the FBI had confidential human sources at the Capitol, he said, “I have to be very careful about what I can say — about when we do and do not and where we have and have not used confidential human sources.”
