After Rep. Luna claimed whistleblowers feared for their lives from President Biden, Rep Steve Scalise responded to a reporter's question and admitted he has no knowledge about any threats to whistleblowers.

"So freshman Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna wrote on Twitter that she's concerned that the FBI informant in the Biden bribery scheme fears he will be killed if unmasked," the reporter said. "Can you confirm whether or not that's true and also just your personal thoughts on it?"

"I don't know about that particularly," Scalise admitted. "Obviously, the members of the committee have been much more involved in the whistleblowers."

But not any assassination attempts on Hunter Biden whistleblowers because it's nonsense.

Scalise is the House Majority Leader, the second most powerful position in the House of Representatives, so he would know if there were actual threats made against whistleblowers.

And you'd think the House of Representatives would be able to provide security for their critical witnesses; they have in the past.

It's hard to protect IMAGINARY PEOPLE, though.
