The Manhattan Project
In August of 1939 Albert sent the first of four letters to President Roosevelt warning him of the danger of nuclear fission experiments taking place in Berlin. Einstein worried that in Berlin they would create weapons with this knowledge of nuclear fission.
In 1941 President Roosevelt took Albert's advice and started researching nuclear fission to create weapons with the Manhattan project.
The Manhattan project was researching nuclear fission to create bombs at a top secret facility in Los Alamos, New Mexico. Einstein was never really directly involved in the Manhattan Project. Even though he warned the President of the dangers of nuclear fission, Einstein was thought of as being a suspicious character for wanting peace not war.
Since the FBI thought of Einstein as a threat they kept a top secret file on him, recording his every movement.
Because of his status as a threat he was denied security clearance to the top secret facility in New Mexico.
Einstein didn't care because he had publicly stated that he was against war, he was a declared pacifist.
