A Washington magistrate judge rejected a late-filed superseding criminal complaint that added obstruction charges against former FBI agents Bradley Benavides and Nikki Floris on 27 October. The superseding complaint, filed by the Justice Department on 23 October, alleged that the two former counterintelligence officials had lied to Congress and obstructed the congressional inquiry into the Hunter Biden laptop investigation. Earlier that day, the department charged them with making false statements to Congress, and both surrendered to authorities.

Résumé

The claim that two former FBI agents surrendered to authorities on October 23, 2026, for allegedly providing false statements to Congress about the Hunter Biden investigation is partially confirmed. The claim that a Washington magistrate judge rejected a late-filed superseding criminal complaint on October 27, 2026, adding obstruction charges against the same agents has insufficient evidence.
