FBI employees speak out against politicization and retaliation.

Former FBI employees testified before a House committee investigating the "weaponization" of the federal government against conservatives. The FBI revoked the security clearances of two of the men after concerns about their views of the Capitol attack on Jan. 6, 2021. The former employees accused the FBI of overreach and retaliation, while Republicans on the committee hailed them as rank-and-file patriots. Democrats dismissed the testimony as another attempt by Republicans to help former President Donald Trump. The investigation by the select committee has also encompassed social media companies and other large businesses.
