Government Will No Longer Allow Outside Contractors to Review Federal Background Checks
Last month, the Federal Government filed suit against USIS, one of their largest contractors for security clearance background checks, for allegedly delivering 665,000 fake, fraudulent, or incomplete background check reports. USIS had been the firm responsible for vetting countless government employees, including Edward Snowden, who leaked thousands of sensitive government documents, and Aaron Alexis, who killed a dozen people in a Navy Yard shooting last fall. By trusting USIS to run background checks and provide reports that cleared employees to operate within the government, the Office of Personnel Management worries that it may have unwittingly created a major set of threats to national security.
