Former FBI official Timothy Thibault, who has faced multiple whistleblower allegations, responded Tuesday to media reports that he left the bureau, saying in a statement through his legal counsel he “voluntarily retired” from his job and denying some allegations leveled against him.
Thibault, who is being provided pro bono services by Morrison & Foerster LLP, confirmed through his counsel that his last day at the FBI was Friday, as reported by several outlets, but clarified that he “was not fired, not forced to retire, and not asked to retire.”
