FBI agent relieved of duty over refusing Comey perp walk: Report

An FBI agent was fired for refusing to stage a public escort of former director James Comey amid internal disputes over politicizing law enforcement tactics.

  • An FBI agent has been suspended after refusing to participate in a 'perp walk' for former FBI Director James Comey, according to US media reports.
  • The suspension was due to insubordination, as the agent believed the perp walk would be inappropriate for a white-collar defendant, CBS reported, citing an anonymous source.
  • FBI leadership has discussed using 'large, beefy' agents in Kevlar vests to bring Comey to his court arraignment, according to CBS.
  • Patel highlighted that he did not deny an agent was terminated but criticized MSNBC's reporting as 'a clown factory of disinformation.
