Head of the FBI’s Milwaukee office, Teresa Carlson, is temporarily working at the Facilities and Logistics Services Division at headquarters in Washington D.C. while authorities investigate claims that she pressured a subordinate to commit perjury, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Still, Carlson remains the special agent in charge of the Milwaukee office, according to FBI spokesman Leonard Peace.
Carlson is accused of pressuring a subordinate to “come down on the side of the government” in a trial by a former Army Ranger who said the FBI discriminated against him because he had lost one of his hands in a training mission.
The Office of Inspector General is investigating Carlson.
FBI supervisor Teresa Carlson is under investigation by the FBI Office of Professional Responsibility.
The FBI Office of Professional Responsibility is the branch of the FBI that investigates other
FBI agents for misconduct. The former head of the FBI Office of Professional Responsibility John Conditt was recently sentenced to 12 years in prison for having sex with 6 year old children. see http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/washington/2004-02-17-ex-fbi-ia-chief_x.htm
