An FBI agent assigned to then-Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign has made bombshell allegations charging misconduct, political bias, and “overzealous thoughts” permeated the team — to the point of festooning the walls of their office with anti-Trump cartoons and drinking alcohol while on the job.
A “let’s get him” attitude colored the two-year investigation into false claims that Trump and his advisers colluded with Russia to win the 2016 presidential election, the unidentified agent said.
The allegations were first made in December 2020, when the agent was interviewed as part of an internal FBI probe into alleged misconduct by then-supervisory intelligence analyst Brian Auten — a central figure in both the Russia collusion hoax and Hunter Biden laptop coverup.
Controversy Surrounding FBI Investigations
Recent revelations have shed light on alleged biased behavior within the FBI during high-profile investigations.
- One FBI agent, Michelle Taylor, was pressured to alter interview records involving former Deputy Director Andrew McCabe’s derogatory remarks about President Trump. Taylor stood her ground and eventually left the FBI.
- Another prosecutor, Aaron Zelinsky, was accused of fostering a biased atmosphere in the office with anti-Trump caricatures and cartoons. Zelinsky resigned in 2025 after handling investigations into Trump associates.
Robert Mueller’s investigation, costing over $30 million, concluded in 2019 without evidence of Russia collusion. However, a report from special counsel John Durham in 2023 criticized the FBI for disregarding information that didn’t support the narrative of Trump-Russia collusion.
Senator Grassley has requested relevant documents from individuals involved in these allegations to be submitted by March 29.
