During a security clearance review, FBI officials asked if a longtime employee supported Trump, had COVID-19 vaccine concerns, or attended a Second Amendment rally. A complaint of bias followed.
The employee's clearance was revoked after confirming his support for Trump, gun rights, and vaccine concerns.

Security Clearance = Figure out if a person can be controlled by the deep state. They dig all your dirt, get an idea of how they can leverage you, and then they will give all clear.
If they realise a person is not gonna be controllable, then they will deny security clearance. This is what happened for a bunch of Trump people during his first term and Trump had to do some kind of executive override.
It is very recent, and it sucks. The last time I got a clearance was in 2013 when I was an NRC Cyber Inspector. That was when I got the "Q" clearance (after getting the TS and having it moved to the "Q" via reciprocity).
I had zero issues. In fact when they asked me if I ever did drugs I told them about trying weed in Amsterdam. The investigator was shocked and I asked her why. She said nobody ever tells the truth because they think they will be denied - and laughed. You only got denied if you lied about it and they found out from one of your people that was also interviewed. I had the Q all the way through 2018 when it expired and I went to another job.
