A DEA supervisor denied allegations that he had sex with a paid informant.
“There’s no salacious activity going on,” former DEA Atlanta office supervisor Keith Cromer said in U.S. Magistrate Judge Shirley Padmore Mensah’s St. Louis federal court on Friday, the Daily Caller reports.
Cromer said he developed a person relationship with a paid informant, but it never became sexual.
Cromer invoked the Fifth Amendment twice during the court hearing.
The Justice Department has opened up a criminal investigation.
Cromer admitted he had gone on vacation with the informant twice, but said they stayed in separate bedrooms.
The informant received $212,000 for information that helped the DEA with several cases.
