Nikki Floris admitted she was running a “shadow government.”
Today the real government caught her.

Nikki Floris and Bradley Benavides are anti-Trump activists who weaponized the federal government.
Our Committee uncovered their lies.
And today the DOJ is holding them accountable.

Bradley Benavides:
-Misled Congress about his knowledge of investigations into Hunter Biden
-Lied about his knowledge of the Hunter Biden laptop
-Lied to Congress under oath
The coverup didn't work.
This morning, two former senior FBI officials, Nikki Floris, 46, and Bradley Benavides, 56, surrendered on arrest warrants after being charged with lying to Congress about their roles on the Foreign Influence Task Force during the 2020 election. Floris and Benavides allegedly lied to Congress about their roles in the FBI’s Hunter Biden investigations, with one claiming they only learned about it from Wikipedia - despite evidence showing their involvement in helping shape the public narrative about Hunter Biden’s laptop right before the election.
Lying to Congress by anyone strikes at the heart of our democratic system, but when senior FBI agents lie to Congress believing they are above the law, it’s time to bring the hammer of justice down on them. When senior officials entrusted with safeguarding our nation’s security choose deception over duty, they undermine the very institutions they swore to uphold.
Today’s action makes clear that no one is above the law, and we will hold accountable all who obstruct the truth.

Floris and Benavides each were charged with making false statements in a matter within the jurisdiction of the legislative branch, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1001(a)(2). The charges stem from an ongoing investigation into the since-dissolved FBI Foreign Influence Task Force, or FITF, which led the FBI’s efforts to secure the 2020 election from foreign malign influence.

Two former senior FBI officials, Nikki Cole Floris and Bradley Benavides, were taken into custody today on charges of allegedly lying to Congress about their involvement in the FBI’s investigations into Hunter Biden.
The charges stem from an ongoing investigation into the since-dissolved FBI Foreign Influence Task Force.
Floris led the FITF as a Deputy Assistant Director from mid-2019 through mid-2022. Benavides was the FITF Section Chief from mid-2019 through the 2020 election. Both testified that the FITF was not involved in the Hunter Biden investigations. Documentary evidence, contemporaneous communications, and witness accounts contradict their testimony.
Floris is also on record privately claiming to be “running a shadow government” during the 2020 election in her role on the FITF.
Lying to Congress by senior FBI officials strikes at the heart of our system. No one is above the law.
The FBI has already dismantled the corrupt CR-15 squad that engaged in political weaponization targeting their opponents, including President Trump.
Thanks to @TheJusticeDept @FBIKansasCity and @USAttyPirro.

The Trump Administration’s war on fraud is a fight I am proud to be part of in Congress.
In North Carolina, we have seen how criminals exploit the programs and benefits intended for our most vulnerable citizens.
My voting record shows how serious I am about stopping these fraudsters, which is why taking @VP’s pledge to protect Americans from fraud was an easy decision.
To no one’s surprise, none of my Democrat colleagues have joined us. The Left continues to turn a blind eye and enable hardworking Americans to be abused and exploited by these criminals.

Keeping American families safe must always be a priority.
My @HouseGOP colleagues and I remain committed to delivering on our promises, protecting our communities, and building a stronger, safer future for every American.
For 4 years, Americans watched the border crisis unfold while the Biden-Harris administration tried to gaslight people into thinking nothing was wrong.
The American people demanded change and Republicans delivered the most secure border in history. We must protect this progress and hold the line against a return to Democrats' failed open-border policies.

It's past time New Jersey provided answers.
SUBPOENAED: Chairmen @Jim_Jordan, @RepBryanSteil, @Congressman_JVD, and @RepLaurelLee subpoenaed New Jersey's Acting Secretary of State for information on how it registered over 6,000 noncitizens to vote.
After 79 days, only 12 documents have been produced to the Committees.
The New Jersey Department of State can try to stonewall all they want, but this isn't going away.
American deserve secure elections.

As I stated to Steve Descano in person, he abandons victims of horrible, life-altering crimes to solidify his standing with the Democratic Party. When prosecutors refuse to work with the men and women in law enforcement to protect Americans, victims are left without protection in their own country. That should be uniformly unacceptable.
For sanctuary Democrats, it’s a price worth paying for their open border agenda. In Descano’s case, he chose illegal immigrant criminals who irreparably wounded Americans over fulfilling the duties entrusted to him.
As a former prosecutor, I am at a loss for words and heartbroken for the men, women, and children who have been beaten, raped, kidnapped, molested, and stolen from without penalty, solely because their prosecutor is a political sycophant.
NEW: The House Judiciary Committee has just released the results of its investigation into sanctuary policies in Fairfax County, VA via an interim staff report that makes the following conclusions:
- Fairfax County, VA ignored at least 1,670 ICE detainers between 2023-2025, releasing criminal illegal aliens back into the community instead.
-Fairfax County Commonwealth Attorney Steve Descano treats illegal alien defendants differently than similarly situated American citizens, and he refused to prosecute or significantly reduced charges for criminal illegal aliens in order to shield them from deportation/immigration consequences.
- The committee says in a preliminary review of more than 1,100 criminal cases, they’ve identified more than 100 previously unreported criminal aliens who benefited from Descano’s prosecutorial choices, which includes Descano’s decision to almost never pursue certain cases against illegal aliens, including DUIs, felony drug possession, felony grand larceny, shoplifting, fraud, trespassing, destruction of property, and assault of a law enforcement officer.
- The committee lists some examples of the criminal aliens they say Descano shielded with his policies in the cases he did prosecute, including an illegal alien charged w/ felony child rape/carnal knowledge of a child who had his charges dropped to misdemeanor “consensual sex with a child” and he was offered a 90 day suspended jail sentence.
- The committee says Descano dropped more than 50 charges against a serial fraudster from China and allowed multiple illegal aliens charged w/ malicious wounding, strangulation, and assault and battery to “escape accountability and reoffend.”
- The committee alleges that Descano misled Congress by telling them one thing during his Congressional testimony, but telling them another in a private letter after that testimony. Per the report, Descano said during his May 2026 testimony before the committee that his policies are meant to shield green card holders/legal immigrants from deportation, but in a subsequent letter to the committee in September 2026, Descano admitted that his policies may also shield illegal immigrants from deportation.

New Jersey improperly registered over 6,000 noncitizens to vote, yet has failed to explain how this happened or why they remained on voter rolls until 2026.
Today, I join Chairman @RepBryanSteil and Chairman @Jim_Jordan in issuing a subpoena to demand accountability. Election integrity is not optional.

Stephanie Minter should be celebrating her birthday with her family tomorrow.
Instead, they are mourning after she was stabbed to death by an illegal alien with 30 prior arrests.
All because Fairfax County DA Steve Descano’s sanctuary policy protected him.
