The 2020 transition team of then-President Elect Joe Biden was informed in advance of the FBI planning an interview of the president’s son, Hunter Biden, according to a whistleblower—the former FBI supervisor responsible for opening the bureau’s investigation into Mr. Biden.

FBI and IRS agents planned the interview for Dec. 8, 2020, but were told that morning to stand down, the whistleblower told the House Oversight Committee in a July 17 interview. The committee released the interview transcript on Aug. 14 (pdf).
