US judge dismisses Trump-backed case against two ex-FBI officials accused of lying to Congress about Hunter Biden laptop probe

The DC federal judge ruled the Trump Justice Department's prosecution of two former FBI officials was "weaponised," throwing out the case entirely.

The judge found no credible evidence the pair had conspired to suppress the laptop story, dealing a direct blow to Kash Patel's DOJ agenda.

MAGA supporters reacted with fury online, with some insisting the dismissal proved the entire justice system was 'rigged' against Trump.

The collapse marks yet another Trump-era DOJ prosecution to fall apart in court, raising fresh questions about the department's use of federal charges.
