Judge to rule on probable cause in case against two former FBI officials

FBI agent Ryan Witt testified that a congressional staffer cited as present for both officials’ testimony had attended only Bradley Benavides’ testimony, and prosecutors acknowledged the mistake in a recorded call.
Witt said investigators still had not found anyone who attended Nikki Floris’ testimony; he also described FBI Director Kash Patel and other senior officials monitoring the probe.
Judge Zia Faruqui rejected prosecutors’ unsigned superseding complaint and plans to rule Monday on whether the original complaint establishes probable cause.
