A federal judge ordered two men accused of posing as federal law enforcement released pending trial, ending a days-long detention hearing that unearthed details about an alleged ruse to befriend federal officers from a swanky apartment complex in D.C.
“The federal government has proffered zero evidence the defendants intended to infiltrate the Secret Service for a nefarious purpose, or even that they specifically targeted the Secret Service,” said U.S. Magistrate Judge G. Michael Harvey. “At this point, there has been no showing that national security information was in fact compromised.”
Rothstein said for the first time that his office is “investigating whether or not any bribery occurred.” He said the men could have compromised agents who protected first lady Jill Biden and the White House. In the internal investigation, a Secret Service employee contacted Taherzadeh’s company by email and informed him that the agency was conducting “some sort of review." That correspondence tipped off the defendant, Rothstein said, and spurred the FBI to act quickly. They arrested the men at a restaurant at lunchtime on April 6 while they were meeting with an attorney.
