The FBI official in charge of investigating a recent plot to assassinate former President Donald Trump was previously ordered by FBI officials to delete social media posts attacking Trump.

Judicial Watch now reports they filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Justice for “messages among top leaders of the Federal Bureau of Investigation referencing social media posts of Special Agent Jeffrey Veltri, head of the Miami Field Office, which is investigating the September 15 assassination attempt against Donald Trump.”

“The Biden-Harris FBI is engaged in a cover-up of a cover-up of one its top agents anti-Trump bias,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said. “This is why many Americans are concerned about the FBI’s dangerous political bias against Trump – and whether the FBI can be trusted to investigate the attempts on his life.”

“Top FBI officials ordered an agent to scrub his Facebook page to delete anti-Trump vitriol before they would promote him to head the bureau’s Miami field office, which covers former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, a whistleblower told Congress,” The Washington Times reported in November 2023.

In response, Judicial Watch “sued after the Department of Justice refused to respond in full to a November 21, 2023, FOIA request for”:

1. All emails and Lync system messages sent to and from the following

2. FBI officials referencing social media posts and/or Facebook posts generated by Miami Field Office Special Agent Jeffrey Veltri: Director Christopher Wray, Deputy Director Paul Abbate, and/or Executive Assistant Director Jennifer Moore.

3. All communications, whether by email, text message, or the FBI Lync system between Director Wray, Dep. Director Abbate and/or EAD Jennifer Moore on the one hand and Miami FO Special Agent Veltri related to Donald Trump, social media posts, Facebook and/or political opinions.

“Veltri was reportedly ‘one of several officials that used litmus tests to ‘purge’ political conservatives’ like whistleblower Marcus Allen from the FBI,” Judicial Watch stated.
