Senate Budget Committee Ranking Member Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, speaks at a hearing at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, May 4, 2023. **FILE**Sen. Charles E. Grassley warned the Justice Department to show evidence it implemented changes after an inspector general revealed the FBI retaliated against whistleblowers by revoking security clearances.
Mr. Grassley noted that the FBI was widely mentioned in the memo for failure to comply with federal law and the Director of National Intelligence’s Security Executive Agent Directive 9, known as SEAD 9. • Allowed employees with suspended security clearances pending review for over a year to appeal to the DOJ OIG?
“This lack of appeal process is especially problematic at DOJ components that indefinitely suspend employees without pay for the duration of the security investigation and review process, which can sometimes last years,” Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz wrote in the report. Mr. Horowitz blamed the Justice Department for not providing an inspector general appeal process for employees whose security clearances are suspended for more than one year and who say an agency is retaliating against them.
