Inspector General Alleges Biden’s FBI Illegally Retaliated Against Whistleblowers

DOJ Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz has released a report on Tuesday, May 14, 2024, that claims the Biden administration illegally retaliated against whistleblowers in numerous ways, including illegally immediately revoking their security clearance the moment they identified themselves as whistleblowers.

The report’s key points came in these statements, “As this data reflects, it is unlikely that security clearance reviews, from suspension to a final decision to revoke, are being completed in 1 year… Whistleblower testimony makes clear that the FBI rid itself of employees who dared to speak out against FBI leadership or to raise good-faith concerns about FBI operations.”

A recently published inspector general report, paired with newly released transcripts of one FBI official’s 2023 interview with the House Judiciary Committee, shows that the FBI’s strategy for retaliating against whistleblowers involved suspending their security clearances without explanation or warning.

Jennifer Leigh Moore, who served as executive assistant director for the FBI’s human resources branch until her retirement in June 2023, told congressional investigators that she is “adamant for every employee to be treated fairly and accurately” and that her “whole management principle is around ‘be kind.’”

“No matter what we’re doing, if we’re suspending a clearance, if we’re bringing on board an employee, or if we’re at a retirement, we are always kind,” she told the House Judiciary Committee in April 2023.
