The FBI’s Miami field office is front and center in an investigation that sounds like something straight out of a bad action movie: an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. This isn’t just a one-off thrill ride; it’s the second time in recent months that someone’s taken a shot—literally—at one of America’s most recognized figures. Thanks to a sharp-eyed Secret Service agent who noticed a rifle barrel aimed at the Trump International Golf Course, the attempt was thwarted. Quick on the trigger, the agent opened fire, sending the suspect, identified as Ryan Wesley Routh, scrambling away in his getaway car. Thankfully, local Florida law enforcement stepped in to catch him before he could finish his dramatic escape.
As if that doesn’t raise enough eyebrows, the scandal surrounding the FBI’s handling of this situation is downright laughable in its absurdity. There are growing concerns about whether the truth will ever come to light, particularly given the leadership of the Miami field office. Enter Jeffrey Veltri, the special agent in charge who reportedly had to go on a social media cleanup spree so he could secure his promotion. It’s as if the FBI treated his political opinions like a dirty secret that needed scrubbing before it could shine in the official spotlight.
The FBI official who just spoke at the press conference regarding the latest Trump assassination attempt today is the head of FBI Miami Field Office, Jeffrey Veltri. A whistleblower reportedly told Congress that he is anti-@RealDonaldTrump and was ordered to scrub anti-Trump…

Details from a whistleblower reveal that Veltri was quite the vocal anti-Trumper, prompting big names in the FBI hierarchy—like Director Christopher Wray and Deputy Director Paul Abbate—to worry about his online musings. To maintain an air of neutrality, they allegedly ordered him to erase any hint of his anti-Trump rants from his social media accounts. However, the FBI rebutted these claims, insisting that Veltri’s promotion followed all proper protocols and guidelines. Talk about a plot twist: from being a documented critic to accidentally becoming the person responsible for investigating a serious threat against the very man he can’t seem to stomach.
The whistleblower claims suggest that Veltri’s biases may have seeped further into the FBI, with agents who expressed their views or preferred to live life without a COVID-19 vaccine finding themselves eyed as potential radicals and sidelined. Heaven forbid someone should voice their personal convictions or trust their immune system. According to the report, not even military veterans are safe from this ideological purging, creating an environment where being “too conservative” could cost someone their career.
This isn’t just a simple investigation; it’s a multifaceted political saga made even more dramatic by Governor Ron DeSantis announcing Florida will conduct its own inquiry into this whole limbo of justice. The implications are staggering—if the FBI can’t maintain a standard of impartiality, how can the average American trust such an agency with their safety? As the investigation unfolds, one can only hope that the truth will finally see the light of day, even if it has to battle through a fog of political bias and self-serving cover-ups at the FBI.
