On eve of hearing, FBI says it revoked security clearances of 3 agents over Jan. 6 attack

At least two of the agents are expected to testify on Capitol Hill Thursday.

The FBI has revoked the security clearances of three agents for issues related to the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, according to a letter from the bureau to congressional investigators obtained by ABC News.

One of the agents was among the pro-Trump mob at the U.S. Capitol, according to the FBI, and the two others are alleged to have hindered investigative efforts.

At least two of the agents -- Steve Friend and Marcus Allen -- are expected to testify Thursday before the Republican-led House select subcommittee on Weaponization of the Federal Government as part of its probe into the federal government's purported wrongdoings against conservatives.

The letter could lead to a contentious hearing, providing what could be fresh ammunition to Democrats as they attempt to undercut the credibility of the committee's witnesses and bolster their claims that Republicans are seeking to whitewash the seriousness of the assault on the Capitol.

Russell Dye, a spokesperson for committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, said the letter was an act of desperation by the FBI.

ABC is the worst of the fake media.


Employing George Stuffinenvelopes for so long, a complete Clinton stooge, tells one all they need to know about ABC “news”.
