FBI whistleblower suspected Giuliani was a Russian 'dupe' – but DOJ stifled probe: report

Raw Story  

An FBI whistleblower came forward with his suspicions that Rudy Giuliani “may have been compromised” by Russian intelligence while working as Donald Trump's campaign lawyer and adviser, but he claims the bureau stifled his concerns. FBI agent Jonathan Buma sent a 22-page letter in July to the Senate Judiciary Committee alleging that the former New York City mayor had been used as an asset by a Ukrainian oligarch with ties to Kremlin intelligence and other Russian operatives to spread disinformation in an effort to discredit Joe Biden, reported Mother Jones. Buma alleges that officials with the Department of Justice and the FBI blocked his efforts to investigate Giuliani's ties to Ukrainian developer Pavel Fuks, who federal agents determined to be a “co-opted asset” of Russian intelligence, and the FBI agent claims that Fuks maintained an indirect connection to Giuliani through Ukrainian diplomatic official Andriy Telizhenko after 2019. Buma also reveals that he examined whether Russian operatives or assets assisted Giuliani's 2020 effort to make a film about Hunter Biden's business dealings in Ukraine, which has become a central focus of House Republicans after they retook the majority at the start of this year -- but the FBI whistleblower says they passed on his findings when approached in April.
