Retired Gen. John R. Allen announced his resignation as president of the Brookings Institution, a left-leaning think tank, on Sunday after news broke of an ongoing FBI investigation into his foreign lobbying activity.
The FBI accused Allen of illegally failing to register as a foreign agent while lobbying on behalf of the Government of Qatar, beginning the investigation as early as April. Allen allegedly advised Qatari officials on how to obtain U.S. support after the U.S. identified Qatar as supporting terrorist organizations in 2017, the same year Allen became president of the Brookings Institution, according to court documents.
