More and more evidence is coming out that all was not right with the Joe Biden administration.

The newest evidence comes from a letter signed by House Judiciary Committee chief Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and others.

It informs FBI Director Kash Patel that Biden's FBI "used a security-clearance process to potentially retaliate against a whistleblower, and even tried to interrogate his wife while denying her repeated requests for an attorney."

report at Fox News outlines the allegations of egregious conduct.

The attack was on Special Agent Valentine Fertitta and his wife, in 2024.

The report noted Fertitta had revealed details of the FBI's misuse of "law-enforcement authorities," for which the Biden administration pushed for his "security clearance evaluation" to be extra long.

"During that time, the FBI made attempts to interrogate his wife, Emily Fertitta, and asked her to participate in a two-day interview," the report said.

She asked for her lawyer to be present, and the DOJ essentially said no.

"Documents available to the Committee show that SecD investigators denied Mrs. Fertitta the right to receive advice from an attorney during her interview and the opportunity to review FBI guidelines regarding the interview process beforehand," Jordan's letter warned.

She was told "policy guides, manuals, and an agenda or outline concerning the interview will not be provided."

Further, the administration warned her: "'An attorney may not be able to give you advice during the interview, nor ask any questions or prevent you from answering your questions during the interview. Essentially, he/she will just sit there silently."

The report noted such demands went "against the standard process for security clearance evaluations."
