WASHINGTON (AP) — A former FBI intelligence official who specialized in foreign election interference was charged by the Justice Department, her lawyers said Friday.
The exact nature of the charges against Nikki Floris was unclear, but she was due in court Friday in a case her lawyers described as “nonsense.”
“Nikki Floris is a patriot. She served our nation as a dedicated FBI intelligence officer for nearly 20 years. Yet today, the DOJ has accused her falsely of a crime on the say-so of politicians, not on the facts. It’s no coincidence the government is filing these nonsense charges now, years later, on the eve of an election,” her attorneys said in a statement.
The case was filed 10 days before the Nov. 3 elections and marks the latest in a series of splashy and politically charged investigative actions the Justice Department has undertaken in the run-up to the midterm contests.
