On Friday, August 26, Thibault was walked out of the building by two or three "headquarter-looking types," as per a firsthand account from an eyewitness. However, it remains unclear whether he left the bureau voluntarily or was ejected from it. As per Fox News, sources claimed that Thibault retired on Friday and was escorted out, which is standard procedure for all retiring FBI agents.

Timothy Thibault is allegedly criticized for making political remarks against Hunter Biden Earlier in August, a whistleblower's charges of political bias led to Timothy Thibault's removal from his supervisory position. In a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, FBI director Christopher Wray deemed the violations as being "deeply troubling." Earlier this month, Sen. Johnson, a Wisconsin Republican, said that his office had heard about the "FBI's apparent corruption" from whistleblowers. He stated: "After the FBI obtained the Hunter Biden laptop from the Wilmington, DE computer shop, these whistleblowers stated that local FBI leadership told employees, 'you will not look at that Hunter Biden laptop.'"

In a letter from July 18, he claimed that Thibault had attempted to halt the Biden inquiry. Grassley wrote: “Thibault allegedly ordered the matter closed without providing a valid reason as required by FBI guidelines … [and] subsequently attempted to improperly mark the matter in FBI systems so that it could not be opened in the future.” In October 2020, the New York Post also published a series of articles on the contents of Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop in Delaware, which contained reams of emails pertaining to his dubious international business dealings.

During his appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, he said that the censoring was in response to an ambiguous FBI caution about potential "Russian propaganda" connected to the 2020 presidential election published by other sources. He said: “Basically, the background here is the FBI, I think, basically came to us...some folks on our team...and was like, ‘Hey, just so you know, like, you should be on high alert." Additionally, said: "We thought that there was a lot of Russian propaganda in the 2016 election. We have it on notice that, basically, there’s about to be some kind of dump that’s similar to that. So just be vigilant."
