FBI seeks interview with CIA whistleblower via Isikoff, zachsdorfman
An FBI agent in the Washington field office in October reached out to one of the lawyers representing the whistleblower and asked to question the CIA analyst who triggered the congressional inquiry into the president’s conduct, one of the sources said.
It also comes after multiple threats have been made against the whistleblower and his lawyers — some of which have been separately passed along by the lawyers to other officials at the FBI. But the agent who sought to question the whistleblower made no reference to the threats as the purpose of the interview, according to sources familiar with the discussions.
As a result, Kerri Kupec, chief of public affairs, said the Justice Department determined that “no further action was warranted.” There were “guys who wanted to run with it,” said the former senior official. “People were pissed off.” The two associates in question are Igor Fruman and Lev Parnas, both of whom were recently indicted by federal prosecutors for allegedly conspiring to funnel foreign money into U.S. elections.
