Part 4/6:
The FBI director addressed the recent allegations by condemning misuse of intelligence for political purposes. He highlighted that, for years, some officials used their positions to selectively leak classified information in order to shape political narratives. This practice, the director said, was aimed at weaponizing law enforcement tools for partisan gain and has eroded public trust in government institutions.
The FBI has committed to taking the lead in investigating these allegations, working alongside the Department of Justice and Congress. The goal, according to officials, is to uncover whether political power was misused in the handling of sensitive information and to restore public confidence in federal agencies.
