FIRST ON FOX:<\/strong> The Biden administration\u2019s FBI<\/a> used a security-clearance process to potentially retaliate against a whistleblower, and even tried to interrogate his wife while denying her repeated requests for an attorney, according to the House Judiciary Committee.<\/p>\n

In a letter signed by Chair Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and Jen Kiggans, R-Va., the committee on Monday informed FBI Director Kash Patel<\/a> that the Biden administration used a security-clearance interview process to skirt whistleblower protections and investigate Special Agent Valentine\u00a0Fertitta in 2024.<\/p>\n

Fertitta had blown the whistle on the FBI\u2019s misuse of “law-enforcement authorities.” After that, his security clearance evaluation process became unusually prolonged. During that time, the FBI made attempts to interrogate his wife, Emily Fertitta, and asked her to participate in a two-day interview.<\/p>\n

When Mrs. Fertitta pushed back and asked to have an attorney present, the Department of Justice<\/a> effectively denied her request.<\/p>\n

“Documents available to the Committee show that SecD investigators denied Mrs. Fertitta\u00a0the right to receive advice from an attorney during her interview and the opportunity to review\u00a0FBI guidelines regarding the interview process beforehand,” the letter states.<\/p>\n

HOUSE DEMOCRATS OPEN PROBE INTO FBI’S HANDLING OF EPSTEIN DOCUMENTS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

According to the committee, the FBI had told Mrs. Fertitta that “\u2018policy guides, manuals,\u00a0and an agenda or outline concerning the interview will not be provided.\u2019”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“\u2018An attorney may not be able to give you advice\u00a0during the interview, nor ask any questions or prevent you from answering your questions during\u00a0the interview. Essentially, he\/she will just sit there silently.\u2019”<\/p>\n

The demand to interview Mrs. Fertitta goes against the standard process for security clearance evaluations. The agency\u2019s SEAD 4 Guidelines, the procedures that govern the standards, do not allow the agency to deny spousal privilege \u2014 a spouse\u2019s legal right to refuse to testify against their partner in criminal cases. It also does not empower the agency to deny a request for an attorney.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The committee did not detail in its communications the nature of the behavior Valentine Fertitta had tried to expose in his capacity as a whistleblower.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Judiciary Committee has requested that the FBI provide any documents related to the FBI\u2019s investigation of the Fertitta family. FBI Director Patel has been directed to provide the committee with its requested documentation no later than Nov. 10, 2025.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
