The official in question is Steven D'Antuono, a particularly notable whistleblower given the integral role he played in the kidnapping entrapment plot of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-Mich.), which earned him a promotion as Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI Washington Field Office (WFO) in 2020.

D'Antuono's office subsequently quarterbacked the mass arrests and prosecutions of hundreds of Trump supporters following the January 6 protests.

In a letter sent to Attorney General Merrick Garland on Thursday, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) claimed D'Antuono voluntarily came forward to the House Judiciary Committee to reveal his objections with how the bureau executed the raid of Mar-a-Lago.

"On June 7, 2023—days before the reported indictment of former President Trump—the Committee conducted a transcribed interview of Steven D'Antuono," Jordan wrote.

"Mr. D'Antuono served as the former Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI's Washington Field Office (WFO) and one of the most senior FBI officials in charge of effectuating the unprecedented raid of President Trump's residence at Mar-a-Lago. During his testimony, Mr. D'Antuono expressed strong concerns with the Department's pursuit of the raid and noted several unusual features in the Department's handling of the case."
