Timothy Thibault, an FBI assistant special agent in charge, was allegedly forced out after he was accused of political bias in his handling of probes involving President Biden’s son, sources told the Washington Times on Monday.
The agent was escorted out of the field office by at least two “headquarters-looking types” last Friday, the sources said.
Thibault and the FBI didn’t immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment on Monday.
Thibault, a 25-year-veteran, had already been on leave for a month after the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), started raising concerns about whistleblower claims that the FBI had obstructed its own investigations into the first son.

In a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray in July, Grassley said Thibault and FBI supervisory intelligence analyst Brian Auten were allegedly involved in “a scheme” to “undermine derogatory information connected to Hunter Biden by falsely suggesting it was disinformation.”
Thibault also allegedly tried to kill off a valid avenue of investigation of possible Hunter Biden criminality until at least one month before the November 2020 election, according to Grassley.
“Thibault allegedly ordered the matter closed without providing a valid reason as required by FBI guidelines … [and] subsequently attempted to improperly mark the matter in FBI systems so that it could not be opened in the future,” Grassley wrote.
It was the same month The Post first started reporting on Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop, which included troves of emails related to his shady overseas business dealings.
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg revealed last week that the social media giant suppressed The Post’s bombshell Hunter Biden report following a vague FBI warning about possible “Russian propaganda” tied to the 2020 presidential election.
“Basically, the background here is the FBI, I think, basically came to us — some folks on our team — and was like, ‘Hey, just so you know, like, you should be on high alert,’” Zuckerberg told “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast.
Zuckerberg said the FBI added, “‘We thought that there was a lot of Russian propaganda in the 2016 election. We have it on notice that, basically, there’s about to be some kind of dump that’s similar to that. So just be vigilant.’”
Meanwhile, Republican senators have also publicly scrutinized Thibault’s alleged anti-Trump social media activity ahead of the 2020 election, including a retweet of a Lincoln Project message that called Donald Trump a “psychologically broken, embittered and deeply unhappy man.”
He also allegedly tweeted that he wanted to “give Kentucky to the Russian Federation.”
Wray admitted under grilling from GOP senators earlier this month that allegations of political bias at the hands of FBI agents, including Thibault, were “deeply troubling.”
Steve Bannon went off on Bill Barr, Karl Rove and the Bush machine Wednesday on The War Room. This is after FBI Cyber Chief lied to Congress about having no knowledge of the Hunter Biden laptop. And this was after Bill Barr lied in his book that he did an investigation of the laptop and found there was nothing there.
Bannon fired a warning shot to the corrupt and tired Bush operatives who are working so hard to destroy the populist movement in the Republican Party.
Also last night, D.C., Defense attorney Tim Parlatore provided definitive proof that Sheena Greitens, Eric Greiten’s ex-wife, conspired with conservative political operative Karl Rove to frame the former Missouri governor with false abuse allegations.These Bush operatives including Rove would rather see the country fail than see pro-Trump populists replace them in office.
Steve Bannon: We don’t care about your opinions. We could care less. ou’re a stone-cold liar and we got you on two massive lies. There’s no investigation (on Hunter’s laptop), you did no investigation. There’s no report and you’re a stone-cald liar… Bill Barr is nothing more than a Bush operative. This all goes back to the head of the corrupt snake that used to control the Republican Party. That’s why we’re there to decapitate. We’re there to decapitate. It’s a metaphor. We’re there to decapitate. These, it’s a rotting carcass of all the bad stuff that Bush had. They still want control. They’re not going to give it up. And, hey, I understand. You don’t give it up til you have to give it up. We’re going to force you to give it up. Because what you’re doing now, the country is hurtling towards a dark valley. And you’re part of the problem. You’re a big part of the problem. And, in November when we take over and when Trump wins in a landslide, you guys are going to have nothing to do with this.
