FBI Whistleblower Alleges Political Bias in Security Clearance Process

New disclosures claim agency leadership retaliated against employees for political views, raising concerns about internal practices.

A supervisory special agent reported witnessing improper suspension and revocation of security clearances based on political and medical views.
The whistleblower, a registered Democrat, claims high-ranking officials predetermined outcomes of clearance investigations.
Specific cases include Marcus Allen, who faced suspension over COVID-19 vaccine refusal and concerns about FBI leadership's testimony on Jan. 6 events.
The whistleblower's complaint has been submitted to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees and the Department of Justice’s Office of the Inspector General.
Calls for legislative action and investigation into the FBI's practices have been made to protect future whistleblowers.
