Whistleblowers are complaining about a culture of “corruption, cover-ups and retaliation” against agents who are trying to expose it in offices in Miami, Salt Lake City, Buffalo, and Newark.
The complaints included allegations that supervisors forced agents to sign false affidavits, made up terrorism cases to falsely inflate their performance statistics, sexually harassed, or engaged in other sexual acts with a subordinate.
One of the whistleblowers — who said that superiors, including FBI Director Chris Wray, ignored her complaints about sexual harassment — also said that the “bureau suffers from a “mob-like mentality.”
