An FBI agent’s retirement last Friday was unrelated to politicized comments he made on social media or his purported link to the Hunter Biden investigation, according to a statement from his lawyer.

When prompted during testimony in front of a congressional committee, Wray called the types of posts that Grassley highlighted “deeply troubling.”
