An FBI agent faces potential disciplinary measures after an investigation by the DOJ's internal watchdog revealed he allegedly asked a female staffer to provide 'provocative' photos of herself that he used as bait in an undercover sex-trafficking operation
WASHINGTON - An FBI agent faces potential disciplinary measures after an investigation by the Justice Department's internal watchdog revealed he allegedly asked a female support staffer to provide "provocative" photos of herself that he used as bait in an undercover sex-trafficking operation.
The agent under investigation never obtained written consent from the employees, and he advised them "not tell anyone, including their supervisors, about the UC [undercover] operations." Brian Turner, an executive assistant director at the FBI, responded in a July 27 memo, saying the bureau will "evaluate existing policy and determine which policies require adjustment."

The report also cited 'ample evidence' that Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) scientists - aided by U.S. experts and Chinese and U.S. government funds - were working to modify coronaviruses to infect humans and such manipulation could be hidden.
