Controversy Surrounding FBI Agent's Removal for Refusing to Participate in James Comey's Arrest Display
An FBI agent was allegedly removed from duty for refusing to participate in a public display of former FBI Director James Comey's arrest after his indictment. The agent's dismissal was confirmed by four sources familiar with the situation. The FBI did not provide a comment on the matter. Comey received a court summons rather than an arrest warrant, but individuals typically go to an FBI field office for processing after receiving such a summons. Comey faces charges of making false statements and obstructing a congressional investigation, to which he has pleaded innocence.
