House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan and Rep. Matt Gaetz notified FBI Director Christopher Wray in a letter Thursday that the committee is 'continuing to investigate allegations of politicization and bias' at the FBI.

Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, joins "The Ingraham Angle" to weigh in on the House Judiciary Committee's probe into the Biden classified documents case as revelations surface.

Jordan and Gaetz said the indictment of McGonigal reminded the American people"yet again about the seemingly pervasive problems within the FBI." McGonigal, who retired from the bureau in 2018, was charged through a nine-count indictment unsealed last week in Washington, D.C. He was indicted on the charge of falsification of records and documents, which carries a statutory maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.

"McGonigal allegedly took these actions after previously supervising investigations into Deripaska and his Russian rivals," Jordan, above, and Gaetz wrote. "McGonigal allegedly took these actions after previously supervising investigations into Deripaska and his Russian rivals," Jordan and Gaetz wrote, noting that, according to the indictment, in his role as SAC of the Counterintelligence Division,"McGonigal 'supervised and participated in investigations of Russian oligarchs, including Deripaska.’"

Meanwhile, Jordan and Gaetz, pointing to the original Trump-Russia investigation in 2016, said Deripaska was the same Russian oligarch who was working with Christopher Steele — the author of the infamous anti-Trump dossier that served as the basis for Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants against former Trump campaign aide Carter Page.
