The FBI Counterterrorism Unit has been tracking “threats” against education officials and school boards, according to FBI documents obtained by a whistleblower. An email from the FBI stated: “The Counterterrorism and Criminal Divisions created a threat tag, EDUOFFICIALS, to track instances of related threats. We ask that your offices apply the threat tag to investigations and assessments of threats specifically directed against school board administrators, board members, teachers, and staff.” Republicans say that Attorney General Merrick Garland “willfully misled” the House Judiciary Committee about the FBI’s involvement in such investigations.
