Mr.
Grassley, Iowa Republican, told Ms. Bondi and Mr. Patel in a letter Thursday that his office has received allegations for years about the Biden Justice Department and FBI “taking adverse personnel action against several of its employees in retaliation for making legally protected whistleblower disclosures or because their political beliefs didn’t align with the Biden administration.”

“My office has been told that, in many of these cases, the suspension of their security clearances resulted in immediate, indefinite suspensions without pay while the
FBI improperly and intentionally delayed the process for these individuals to contest the adverse action,” said Mr. Grassley, who is long known to champion whistleblowers who have faced retaliation by their government employers.

The lawmaker wrote, “This tyrannical government conduct caused significant financial hardship. The retaliatory government action also placed them in the impossible decision to either resign their position without completing their legal challenge or continue challenging the suspension or revocation of their clearance while suspended without pay with no prospect of obtaining new employment.”

The Washington Times reached out to the Justice Department. The
FBI declined to comment.

Grassley said the Biden administration’s political weaponization of the Justice Department and FBI has caused “significant damage to these institutions and its employees, but you’re in the position to right the ship.”
