Washington, D.C. – In a bombshell report released Tuesday, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence accused the FBI of deliberately downplaying the politically motivated 2017 shooting that nearly killed House Majority Leader Steve Scalise and injured several others. The shooter, James Hodgkinson, was a far-left extremist who opened fire on Republican congressmen practicing for the annual charity baseball game—but the FBI called it “suicide by cop.”
That decision, the report says, wasn’t just wrong—it was dishonest.
The 27-page unclassified report, compiled from more than 3,000 pages of FBI records recently turned over by new Director Kash Patel, reveals that the Bureau ignored or buried clear evidence of political terrorism. Hodgkinson had a hit list of GOP members, had cased the field for two months, and had posted violently anti-Republican rants online. Yet the FBI’s leadership under then-Acting
Director Andrew McCabe told the public there was “no nexus to terrorism.”
“The FBI used false statements, manipulation of known facts, and biased and butchered analysis,” the report concludes.
