The Justice Department and the FBI have finalized settlements with ten current and former FBI agents who identified themselves as whistleblowers. These agents had accused the bureau of politicization and alleged they faced retaliation, including indefinite suspension without pay and loss of security clearances, during the Biden administration. The settlements restore their law enforcement credentials, provide back pay, benefits, and damages. The cases were resolved under the Trump administration, which addressed claims that the agents were targeted for their political views. The whistleblowers had used authorized channels to report alleged misconduct within the FBI. This resolution marks the conclusion of multiple whistleblower cases related to internal bureau discipline and political retaliation.
