Trump calls for probe into former FBI agent Walter Giardina over misconduct claims

 October 30, 2025

President Donald Trump has dropped a bombshell by publicly targeting a former FBI agent, reigniting fierce debates over political bias in federal law enforcement with a call for immediate action.

On Wednesday, Trump used Truth Social to blast Walter Giardina, a recently fired FBI agent, accusing him of misconduct and tying him to a sprawling network of federal officials and investigations aimed at Trump and his allies, as Breitbart reports.

Trump’s post didn’t pull punches, dragging in heavy hitters like Special Counsel Jack Smith and Attorney General Merrick Garland, framing them as part of a coordinated effort that demands urgent scrutiny.

Trump’s fiery outburst emerges

“Former FBI Agent Walter Giardina is a DIRTY COP!” Trump exclaimed on Truth Social, unleashing a torrent of frustration over what he perceives as systemic corruption.

He urged an immediate investigation into Giardina and a laundry list of officials, calling their actions a “disgrace to our Nation” and pointing to politically driven campaigns like the January 6 probe as evidence of foul play.

Such strong words from Trump resonate with many conservatives who’ve long suspected federal agencies of playing favorites, though critics might argue it’s a distraction from other pressing issues -- yet the concern over fairness remains hard to dismiss.

Giardina’s controversial tenure unpacked

Giardina, recently dismissed by FBI Director Kash Patel, now faces intense public scrutiny thanks to Trump’s accusations and longstanding claims from allies like Peter Navarro, a key figure in Trump’s circle.

Navarro, who served as Trump’s trade adviser and now holds the role of Senior Counselor for Trade and Manufacturing, has accused Giardina of masterminding politically charged FBI investigations, including the infamous Crossfire Hurricane probe.

Navarro’s pointed claim that Giardina is “the guy who basically orchestrated the whole thing” adds fuel to the fire, painting a picture of a rogue operator within the FBI targeting Trump’s team with relentless zeal.

Navarro’s personal grievance comes to forefront

Navarro has also brought personal allegations to the table, claiming Giardina directly supervised his June 2022 arrest at Reagan National Airport over his refusal to testify before the House Jan. 6 Committee, invoking executive privilege.

He asserts that during this arrest, FBI agents under Giardina’s watch neglected to read him his Miranda rights and blocked access to his attorney, while his fiancée endured the humiliation of being “perp-walked” in public.

If these claims hold water, they point to a troubling disregard for due process, amplifying conservative fears of a justice system weaponized against political dissenters—a scenario that should concern any fair-minded observer.

Whistleblower allegations, wider concerns

Adding to the storm, Senate Judiciary Committee records reportedly contain whistleblower testimony alleging Giardina wiped his FBI laptop, possibly destroying vital government records related to these contentious investigations.

Navarro further links Giardina to other FBI operations such as Crimson River and Arctic Frost, alongside surveillance under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and inquiries into the Emoluments Clause, suggesting a pattern of sustained targeting of Trump and his associates.

While these accusations are yet to be fully proven, they bolster a narrative many on the right find deeply unsettling -- that federal institutions may have strayed from impartiality into partisan “lawfare,” a charge that, if substantiated, would shake public trust to its core and demand serious reform.
