A former FBI staff operations specialist choked up Wednesday as he told lawmakers on Capitol Hill about his years of suffering for lawfully expressing dissent — one of many retaliatory actions deemed “highly inappropriate” by the Justice Department’s inspector general.
Marcus Allen, whose attorneys reached a settlement with the bureau earlier this year, told the Judiciary Subcommittee on Weaponization of the Federal Government that higher-ups “accused me of promoting conspiratorial views and unreliable information” for questioning how many confidential informants were present at the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
“The FBI questioned my allegiance to the United States, suspended my security clearance, suspended my pay and refused to allow me to obtain outside employment or even accept charity,” Allen testified about the 27 months he was held in “indefinite limbo.”
