The FBI has reportedly seized the electronic data from a retired four-star U.S. general who now works at a leftist think tank because he allegedly made false statements to authorities and withheld documents that implicated himself in an illegal Qatari foreign lobbying scheme.

“New federal court filings obtained Tuesday outlined a potential criminal case against former Marine Gen. John R. Allen, who led U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan before being tapped in 2017 to lead the influential Brookings Institution,” the Associated Press reported. “It’s part of an expanding investigation that has ensnared Richard G. Olson, a former ambassador to the United Arab Emirates and Pakistan who pleaded guilty to federal charges last week, and Imaad Zuberi, a prolific political donor now serving a 12-year prison sentence on corruption charges.”
