Whistleblower Marcus Allen’s attorneys said he has reached a settlement with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), which has agreed to reinstate his security clearances and disburse 27 months of back pay after suspending him amid “security concerns” over how his views of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol incident affected his work at the agency.
The American Center for Law and Justice, which, alongside the Empower Project, represented Mr. Allen in his dispute with the FBI, called the settlement “major and unprecedented,” revealing that the whistleblower’s security clearances had been fully restored, after being “trapped” in a situation where for nearly two-and-a-half years he went without pay and couldn’t take any outside job because he was technically an employee of the FBI.
