A new report from Just The News has uncovered that the FBI engaged in politically biased questioning during a top-secret security clearance review for a longtime employee. The report alleges that FBI officials asked witnesses whether the employee in question was known to support former President Donald Trump, had expressed concerns about the COVID-19 vaccine, or had attended a Second Amendment rally.
The findings of this report have sparked outrage among conservative circles, with many calling it a clear example of the weaponization of the FBI against supporters of former President Trump. Rep. Jim Jordan, chair of the House Judiciary Committee, retweeted the article and stated, “It just keeps getting worse,” suggesting that this is part of a broader pattern of politically motivated actions by the FBI.

Twitter user @amuse commented on the report, stating, “WEAPONIZATION: If there was any doubt that there is a HUGE problem in the FBI the fact that they’re officially (in writing) screening out agents who support President Trump should eliminate it. The FBI’s Security Division has a form question to ask about support for Trump?!?” This comment highlights the concern that the FBI is actively screening out employees based on their political beliefs, a practice that many conservatives find deeply troubling.

The allegations of political bias in the FBI’s security clearance review process have raised serious questions about the integrity of the agency and its commitment to upholding the principles of fairness and impartiality.
As the investigation into these allegations continues, many are calling for greater transparency and accountability within the FBI to ensure that its actions are free from political influence.
