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.

AP In a Sunday night letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), detailed the most troubling aspects of the agent’s account, saying it “confirms long-standing concerns that political bias rotted the decision-making process within the Mueller team … The American public deserve answers.”
Mueller’s investigation ran until March 2019, at a cost to taxpayers of more than $30 million, but found no evidence of Russia collusion.
In May 2023, another special counsel, John Durham, released a report describing the Trump-Russia probe as “seriously flawed” and finding that the FBI “discounted or willfully ignored material information that did not support the narrative of a collusive relationship between Trump and Russia.”
Grassley has asked Bondi and Patel to produce all emails, files and personnel records relevant to the agent’s allegations by March 29.
