An FBI Whistleblower said Monday that individuals within the agency have been actively destroying files since President Donald Trump took office.
Indefinitely suspended special agent Garret O’Boyle told conservative podcaster Benny Johnson that the Bureau has a number of “stand alone servers” and that his sources inside the FBI say the files on those servers are being deleted in a manner that “even Elon Musk could not restore them.”
“People inside the FBI have been working night and day to destroy files on these servers,” O’Boyle said, explaining that the activity has been going on for weeks. “That’s happening right now, as we speak. That’s happening with Kash Patel being the director. It was happening before he got there.”
O’Boyle, a former police officer and decorated Army veteran who served in both Iraq and Afghanistan, lost his security clearance in September 2022 over false allegations that he leaked information about a criminal investigation to Project Veritas.
O’Boyle said he had no idea what files are being destroyed, but speculated that it is material such as the Jeffrey Epstein client list.
“It’s intel cases that are very siloed, very secretive, and I’m sure there’s even information regarding the FBI’s own subversive measures against Americans and against American politicians,” he said.
As an example, O’Boyle disclosed that someone in the deep state has been spying on Trump, and speculated that it was the FBI.
“We learned in the past few days that the Oval Office was bugged and they took out the Resolute Desk to inspect it,” O’Boyle explained.
The whistleblower also revealed that that he’s heard that agents are in open rebellion against Patel’s plan to relocate 1,500 agents nationwide as part of the administration’s decentralization effort.
“Last week, right out of the gate, Kash Patel said 500 people were going to Alabama,” O’Boyle said, explaining that they would still be “headquarters personnel, but in Alabama.”
The other 1,000 agents, he said, were sent out to the field nationwide.
“Already, people are saying, we are not going to comply with that,” O’Boyle told Johnson. “We are going to make it seem as if we transferred—we’re going to do what they call ‘paper transfers’—and we’re not going to obey these lawful orders.”
The former agent said he believed Patel and Bongino will ultimately succeed, but they will have to “root out this subversion first.”
Meanwhile, there was good news Monday for the handful of FBI whistleblowers who lost their jobs for speaking out against the Biden administration’s corrupt, weaponized policies.
On his “Triggered” podcast, Donald Trump Jr. confirmed on the air that former agents such as O’Boyle, Kyle Seraphin, Steve Friend, Phillip Kennedy and Marcus Allen will be able to get their jobs back—if they want to come back.
“I’m not sure it’s in the best interest of my family to go be an FBI agent again,” O’Boyle wrote on X. “There are far too many subversive Marxists who will only continue to target us.”
“Bare minimum: restore clearances, backpay, and benefits,” said Jason Foster, the founder of Empower Oversight, a nonpartisan nonprofit that investigates government and corporate wrongdoing that has been advocating on behalf of the FBI whistleblowers.
“The FBI shortchanged [Marcus Allen] on the settlement payment it agreed to. Still fighting that battle,” Foster added. “And our list of clients who suffered similar retaliation includes other nonpublic cases. They all deserve justice.”
