EXCLUSIVE — FBI whistleblowers are raising concerns over the bureau's involvement in a secret plea agreement conditioned by the US government that stripped a defendant of their rights to own, buy, or even use firearms.

The FBI and Secret Service worked behind closed doors with an apparent prosecutor in 2019 to condition the signing of the form, which also stripped at least 60 people of their gun rights between 2011 and 2019, according to multiple Washington Examiner reports.

It remains unclear why the FBI or Secret Service were involved in the 2019 case, which was first revealed by the Washington Examiner on March 17. It's also unclear why the form was used, which registered people into the FBI's National Instant Criminal Background Check System and asked signatories to identify as a"danger" to themselves or others or lacking the"mental capacity adequately to contract" their lives.

However, the act does not say someone can rule themselves unfit to own guns. Moreover, the NICS form was not approved by the Office of Management and Budget through public comment, which is required prior to the government collecting information from the public.
