The FBI Falsely Accused Marcus Allen of Conspiracy and Removed His Security Clearance
- The FBI falsely accused Allen of holding "conspiratorial views," stripped his security clearance, and suspended him from duty without pay.
- In reality, Judicial Watch contends, the FBI revoked Allen's security clearance because his views are contrary to the FBI's political narratives regarding the January 6 pro-Trump rally and Capitol occupation.
The lawsuit states the following:
- “[Allen’s] allegiance is to the United States, as he has demonstrated during his years of exemplary military and law enforcement service to his country. [Allen] was not involved in the events of January 6 and did not support them in any material way.”
- In early May 2022, however, the FBI requested that Allen appear for an interview. He promptly complied. Since that time, Allen has received no further word on the status of the FBI's investigation.
The lawsuit alleges several violations of Allen's First and Fifth Amendment rights and asks that Allen's security clearance and employment be restored.
- "The FBI can't purge employees based on political smears. Judicial Watch seeks to remind the FBI that it is not above the law with this civil rights lawsuit for Mr. Allen, a decorated Marine veteran and highly regarded FBI employee."
