<p>The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/fbi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FBI</a> has restored the security clearance of a former FBI agent who claimed the bureau engaged in whistleblower <a href="https://x.com/JudiciaryGOP/status/1659202985677967365" target="_blank" rel="noopener">retaliation</a> against him after he passed along information that challenged the &#8220;official narrative&#8221; of the Capitol breach on January 6, 2021.</p>
<p>Marcus Allen, a staff operations specialist at the FBI&#8217;s field office in Charlotte, North Carolina, who <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/17/us/politics/fbi-security-clearance-jan-6.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lost access</a> to &#8220;Top Secret&#8221; materials before he testified to Congress last year, received notice of the decision in a May 31 letter from the bureau.</p>
<p>&#8220;My decision to reinstate your security clearance is based upon a determination that the original security concerns have been investigated and have been sufficiently mitigated,&#8221; a human resources official <a href="https://x.com/EMPOWR_us/status/1798023869871370268" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> to Allen.</p>
<p>Empower Oversight, one of the groups representing Allen as he fought for reinstatement, <a href="https://empowr.us/fbi-whistleblowers-security-clearance-reinstated-in-full/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> a settlement had separately been reached that restored 27 months of back pay and benefits the FBI withheld after Allen&#8217;s initial suspension in February 2022. Allen resigned from the FBI effective Monday.</p>
<p>&#8220;While I feel vindicated now in getting back my security clearance, it is sad that in the country I fought for as a Marine, the FBI was allowed to lie about my loyalty to the U.S. for two years,&#8221; said Allen.</p>
<p>&#8220;Unless there is accountability, it will keep happening to others,&#8221; Allen added. &#8220;Better oversight and changes to security clearance laws are key to stop abuses suffered by whistleblowers like me.&#8221;</p>

<p>Along with two other FBI whistleblowers — former FBI special agents Garret O’Boyle and Steve Friend — Allen <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/former-fbi-official-tells-house-republicans-bureau-denied-agents-j6-riot-footage-to-protect-assets-informants-present-at-u-s-capitol" target="_blank" rel="noopener">appeared</a> before a House panel last May. The FBI <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/17/us/politics/fbi-security-clearance-jan-6.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">revealed</a> to Congress that all three of their security clearances had been revoked just before the hearing took place.</p>
<p>In his testimony, Allen <a href="https://judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/republicans-judiciary.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/allen-testimony.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claimed</a> that the bureau retaliated against him as a whistleblower after he shared with superiors and others information that &#8220;questioned the official narrative&#8221; of the events of January 6.</p>

<p>Empower Oversight has <a href="https://empowr.us/empower-oversight-president-tristan-leavitt-and-whistleblowers-testify-about-federal-government-weaponization/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted</a> Allen forwarded news articles &#8220;<a href="https://empowr.us/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/2023-04-26-Marcus-Allen-PPD-19-complaint.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">raising concerns</a>&#8221; that FBI Director Christopher Wray had been untruthful during testimony before the Senate &#8220;regarding whether the FBI had <a href="https://empowr.us/empower-oversight-president-tristan-leavitt-and-whistleblowers-testify-about-federal-government-weaponization/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">infiltrated</a> groups involved in the Capitol riot.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Daily Wire reached out to the FBI seeking comment on Allen getting back his security clearance.</p>
<p>&#8220;While we can’t comment on the specifics of any settlement, both parties agreed to resolve this matter without either admitting wrongdoing,&#8221; the FBI said in a statement.</p>
<p>&#8220;Any allegation that the Director lied to Congress is false,&#8221; the bureau continued. &#8220;The FBI takes seriously its responsibility to FBI employees who make protected disclosures under whistleblower regulations, and we are committed to ensuring they are protected from retaliation.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Department of Justice&#8217;s inspector general recently put out a <a href="https://oig.justice.gov/sites/default/files/reports/24-067.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">memo</a> that found the FBI lacked a process allowing employees, <a href="https://x.com/JsnFostr/status/1790393468147192098" target="_blank" rel="noopener">including Allen</a>, whose security clearance has been suspended for more than one year to file a retaliation complaint, and offered recommendations.</p>
<p>House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) released a <a href="https://judiciary.house.gov/media/press-releases/chairman-jordan-statement-reinstatement-marcus-allens-security-clearance" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> calling the FBI&#8217;s decision to reinstate Allen’s security clearance a &#8220;total vindication for a great patriot.&#8221; He added the FBI &#8220;must also reinstate the security clearances of whistleblowers Garret O’Boyle and Stephen Friend.&#8221;</p>
