President Trump on Friday evening reacted to the arrest of former senior FBI agents involved in the Hunter Biden investigation.
Two former senior FBI officials were arrested and charged with lying to Congress about their involvement in the Hunter Biden investigation.
Nikki Cole Floris, 46, of Alexandria, Virginia, and Bradley Benavides, 56, of Aiken, South Carolina, were taken into custody and charged with making false statements about the Hunter Biden laptop investigation.
Floris also privately boasted about "running a shadow government" during the 2020 election.
"Evidence shows that Floris discussed the FBI's investigations into Hunter Biden routinely for more than a year both within the FITF and with others in the FBI. Contrary to his assertion that he learned of the Hunter Biden laptop from Wikipedia, Benavides regularly discussed the laptop with FBI officials in the leadup to the 2020 election," the DOJ said.
Floris and Benavides both falsely testified that the FBI Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF) was not involved in the Hunter Biden laptop investigation.

"You know, they're crooked people. You know, they are dirty cops. Like Comey. Comey is a dirty cop too," Trump said as he walked away.
