(Radio Iowa) – Senator Chuck Grassley says he’s seen political bias in the U-S justice system over the past eight years, but Grassley is rejecting proposals from fellow Republicans who’ve called for shutting down the F-B-I.

G-O-P candidate Vivek Ramaswamy (vih-VAKE rahm-uh-SWAHM-ee) this week said as president he’d fire two-thirds of F-B-I employees and shift the rest to other federal agencies, like the U-S Marshals Service and the Drug Enforcement Agency. Last year, Republicans in the House Freedom Caucus began calling for defunding the F-B-I. Earlier this year, former President Trump said it was time to bring the justice department to its senses and he called on congress to withhold funding from the agency, which includes the F-B-I.

Grassley HAS clashed with the F-B-I over documents related to an investigation into Hunter Biden and Grassley accuses the agency of a consistent disregard for congressional oversight.

And Grassley suggests the House impeachment inquiry into President Biden will show why F-B-I reform is necessary.

Grassley made his comments during taping of the “Iowa Press” program that airs tonight (Friday night), on Iowa P-B-S. President Biden has called attacks on the F-B-I sickening and Biden’s chief staff has said defunding the F-B-I is a reckless idea.
