Timothy Thibault, an FBI agent accused of political bias over his role in the Hunter Biden laptop investigation, retired from his job on Friday.
The former Assistant Special Agent in Charge was escorted out of his Washington D.C. office, as is standard practice, according to Fox News.

Thibault rose to public attention as one of 13 assistant special agents who was investigating Biden's laptop, which the FBI seized in 2019, ahead of the 2020 presidential election.
Earlier in August he was removed from this supervisory role by FBI director Christopher Wray, following whistleblower accusations of bias the bureau chief described as "deeply troubling."

On Thursday Republican Senator Ron Johnson wrote to DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz, Inspector General at the Department of Justice, alleging politically motivated "corruption" within the bureau.

Claiming to have heard from whistleblowers, the GOP lawmaker wrote: "Recently, my office heard from individuals with knowledge of the FBI's apparent corruption.

"After the FBI obtained the Hunter Biden laptop from the Wilmington, DE computer shop, these whistleblowers stated that local FBI leadership told employees, 'You will not look at that Hunter Biden laptop' and that the FBI is 'not going to change the outcome of the election again.'

"While I understand your hesitation to investigate a matter that may be related to an ongoing investigation, it is clear to me based on numerous credible whistleblower disclosures that the FBI cannot be trusted with the handling of Hunter Biden's laptop."
