A federal judge on Monday dismissed a criminal complaint against a pair of former FBI officials accused of lying to Congress during its investigation of Hunter Biden.
Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui found the government had failed to show probable cause that Nikki Floris and Bradley Benavides had lied to lawmakers about what they knew about the investigation into Hunter Biden’s laptop. Data from the abandoned computer later led to successful criminal charges against former President Joe Biden’s son.
