Ex-FBI officials charged in the case about Hunter Biden’s laptop are due back in court

The prosecution of Nikki Floris and Bradley Benavides is the latest in a series of splashy and politically charged investigative actions the Justice Department has undertaken in the run-up to next week’s midterm elections. Two former FBI officials, Nikki Floris and Bradley Benavides, are charged with lying to Congress about their involvement in investigations involving Hunter Biden, the son of former President Joe Biden. The case accuses them of falsely downplaying their knowledge about a laptop the Justice Department says Hunter Biden abandoned at a computer repair shop in 2019. The charges are part of a broadside against a defunct FBI task force, which has been criticized by Congressional Republicans for trying to discredit their own investigations into the Biden family. The New York Post revealed the existence of a laptop it said had been dropped off by Biden a year earlier. The circumstances of the laptop's discovery raised concerns among Democrats and former intelligence officials about Russian involvement.
