An FBI special agent notified Congress on Thursday that the top brass at the bureau removed him from his job in retaliation for defending a fellow whistleblower.
The agent, an attorney who worked as an adjudicator investigating misconduct within the FBI, said his superiors turned on him when he recommended ending the suspension of FBI agent Garrett O’Boyle.
Mr. O’Boyle has been at the center of a whistleblower saga since his security clearance was suspended in September 2022 for allegedly leaking information about a criminal investigation into Project Veritas.
The suspension without pay, which the FBI imposed after Mr. O’Boyle testified before the House Judiciary Committee’s panel on weaponization of the federal government, left him and his family financially ruined and homeless after the FBI yanked his security clearance and suspended him without pay.
The FBI adjudicator, who worked in the Security Division, known in the bureau as “SecD,” reviewed the O’Boyle case and recommended lifting the suspension and reinstating Mr. O’Boyle as an agent. The adjudicator said the FBI lacked specific information to support the suspended Mr. O’Boyle. (Read more from “FBI Agent Accuses Top Brass of Retaliation for Defending Whistleblower” HERE)
