Two of the three self-proclaimed FBI whistleblowers who testified before a House subcommittee Thursday lost their security clearances because their conduct in Jan. 6 cases brought into question their allegiance to the U.S., a bureau official wrote in a letter to members of Congress this week.
A third FBI employee, a special agent who did not testify before the committee, lost his security clearance because he was on the restricted grounds of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, but lied about his conduct, FBI Acting Assistant Director Christopher Dunham wrote in a letter to Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, which was obtained by NBC News.
