A senior FBI official violated the agency’s policy by not reporting a romantic relationship with a subordinate, the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) inspector general stated in a report last week.

A summary of the report (pdf) from Inspector General Michael Horowitz, which didn’t identify the official, states that the official allowed the romantic relationship to “negatively affect an appropriate and professional superior-subordinate relationship and to disrupt the workplace by interfering with the ability of other FBI employees to complete their work.”
