The retired senior official violated FBI policy by not taking preemptive action to \u201cmitigate\u201d any possible negative consequences once the unnamed official found out about the relationship.<\/p>\n<p>Criminal charges for the senior FBI official were \u201cdeclined\u201d according to the report. However, the senior official was moved to a nonsupervisory role and awaits further disciplinary action.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe FBI advised the OIG that, following its receipt and review of the OIG\u2019s report, the FBI immediately removed and reassigned the Senior Official to a nonsupervisory role pending disciplinary action based on the results of the OIG\u2019s investigation,\u201d the report notes.<\/p>\n<p>In December, the DOJ substantiated <a href=\"https:\/\/oig.justice.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/reports\/22-012.pdf\">allegations<\/a> that several FBI agents \u201csolicited, procured, and accepted commercial sex overseas\u201d while doing work for the bureau. According to officials, four agents \u201clacked candor\u201d when discussing their interactions with prostitutes while overseas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe OIG investigation further found that five officials failed to report contact or relationships with foreign nationals, including foreign nationals from whom they procured commercial sex, in violation of FBI policies,\u201d investigators said.<\/p>\n<p>During the investigation process into the agents who solicited commercial sex, two retired, two resigned, and another was \u201cremoved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
