The FBI has come under scrutiny for an internal investigation by its Security Division that questioned employees about a co-worker's political beliefs. According to internal documents, FBI officials conducted a security clearance review and asked witnesses whether the employee supported former President Trump, opposed the COVID-19 vaccine, or attended a Second Amendment rally. The whistleblower's security clearance was ultimately revoked following the investigation. The disclosure included questionnaires given to the agent's co-workers, which specifically asked if the agent had vocalized support for Trump, objected to COVID-19 vaccination, or expressed intent to attend the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
