The FBI background check process is a critical safeguard to ensure that individuals entrusted with high-level positions within the government possess the utmost integrity and are free from concerning vulnerabilities. Bypassing this crucial vetting procedure raises significant risks by potentially granting access to sensitive information and influence to unvetted individuals. I urge a return to the standard practice of thorough FBI background investigations for all presidential nominees before conferring security clearances. Circumventing this established process undermines national security protocols and erodes public trust in our institutions. A robust vetting system is essential to upholding the accountability and reliability expected of those serving in powerful government roles.
