Rep. Adam Schiff, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, has hired Patrick Fallon, former chief of the FBIs Financial Crimes Section, according to two sources familiar with the move.
Its a significant hire that will bring expertise to the committees efforts to scrutinize President Donald Trumps financial dealings. A committee source told The Daily Beast that Fallon started this week.
Schiff announced earlier this year that the committee will look at Trumps finances to see if his personal interests are influencing his decisions as president. That pertains to any credible allegations of leverage by the Russians or the Saudis or anyone else, he said, according to CNN.
Frank Figliuzzi, former Assistant Director of the FBIs Counterintelligence Division, called Fallons hiring significant.
The fact that the Committee has hired someone at the former senior executive service level from within the FBIs Financial Crimes Section is significant, and to me denotes an effort to apply significant resources to examining and analyzing financial findings, Figliuzzi said. By the time you got to the head of the Financial Crimes section, you would have substantial white collar crime and global financial crime experience, both at the street level and the supervisory level. And his role at headquarters would have had him overseeing the bulk of all financial crime cases in the FBI.
