  • The FBI said on Friday that allegations made against its agents labeling them as corrupt are "unfounded" and "deeply irresponsible."

The FBI has refuted claims made by U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who suggested that the FBI was corrupt and had influenced the 2020 election. In a statement, the FBI emphasized its commitment to integrity and independence, asserting that it operates without political bias. This response came after Mayorkas, in a private conversation, reportedly expressed concerns about the FBI's actions during the election, particularly in relation to the investigation into Hunter Biden's laptop. The FBI's dismissal of these allegations underscores the ongoing tension between different branches of the U.S. government regarding election integrity and law enforcement practices.
