EXCLUSIVE — A former senior FBI official who has become a top target for Republicans in their Hunter Biden investigation met with the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday morning.

Timothy Thibault, who worked as an assistant special agent in charge in the FBI's Washington Field Office, was seen entering the committee's meeting room at about 10 a.m. accompanied by two others. They did not take any questions.

Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) and committee member Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) also were seen joining Thibault in the meeting.

Thibault's appearance comes after House Republicans sent the former FBI official numerous letters while they were in the minority asking him to voluntarily appear for an interview with the committee, but they were met with pushback from Thibault's legal counsel.

Committee Republicans have said they are investigating allegations that Thibault worked to shut down a line of inquiry into Hunter Biden while he worked at the FBI and also that he pushed to inflate the number of cases of domestic violent extremism the FBI was handling.

Jordan said in January in his last public communication to Thibault that he wanted to question him and that he would resort to subpoenaing him if the former FBI official did not comply with his request.
