Mountains of shocking information has been uncovered in the continued auditing of federal agencies, including bombshell accusations regarding the ATF under former President Joe Biden's watch.

According to a Fox News exclusive, auditing of the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) found that under Biden, substantial "misconduct, mismanagement, abuse of power and potential criminal misconduct" occurred. 

The findings have prompted at least two Republican senators to call for immediate corrective action at the ATF.

Under Biden, supervisory staff at the ATF reportedly "disregarded federal directives and standards in order to inflate their salaries."

This is bad

Even worse, the findings uncovered that some of the supervisors involved in the alleged misconduct turned a blind eye to the situation and even retaliated against some of the whistleblowers who attempted to expose it.

Double worse, some of those supervisors were even promoted under Biden.

In an alarming letter to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, Iowa's Republican senators, Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley and Joni Ernst, demanded that action be taken.

"As a result of ATF’s illegal conduct, ATF staff assigned to these positions performed administrative work but unlawfully received enhanced law enforcement pay and benefits to which they were not entitled, wasting millions of taxpayer dollars," the two GOP senators wrote.

Fox News noted:

In their letter, the senators cited two internal investigations from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), which concluded in 2020 and ultimately suspended the ATF's classification authority, and the ATF Internal Affairs Division (IAD), which was completed in early 2024. Despite the suspension from OPM in 2020, which was lifted in 2023, ATF officials disregarded OPM directives and continued to re-classify agency employees improperly, according to the senators.

In the letter to AG Bondi, the Iowa GOP senators pointed out Lisa Boykin and Ralph Bittelari, two supervisory ATF agents who reportedly allowed the misconduct and allegedly retaliated against whistleblowers.

"Clear evidence"

The report detailed several instances of the two agents' alleged wrongdoing, with the GOP senators demanding corrective actions.

"The findings in the IAD report present clear evidence that corrective action must be taken for, at minimum, Ms. Boykin’s and Mr. Bittelari’s gross misconduct," the senators wrote.

"Yet, the Biden ATF and DOJ leadership not only failed to hold Boykin or Bittelari accountable for their gross misconduct, but legally protected whistleblower disclosures provided to our offices show these career DOJ bureaucrats were promoted after the conclusion of the IAD investigation that harshly criticized their actions."

Only time will tell if they're able to keep their jobs under Trump. Probably not.
