STATEMENT
OF FBI DIRECTOR ROBERT S. MUELLER, III:
“I
speak for all of the FBI in expressing my appreciation to the Inspector General
of the Department of Justice and the Public Integrity Section of the Criminal
Division for the very capable investigation that resulted in a swift resolution
of the false allegations involving Special Agent in Charge Willie Hulon. Thanks
to their efforts, we now know that these allegations were the product of a criminal
scheme to tarnish SAC Hulon's hard-earned reputation as an exceptional Special
Agent and leader in the FBI. It is gratifying to know that those responsible will
face charges for their criminal scheme.”
“I also want to
commend SAC Hulon for his patience and perseverance these past weeks. SAC Hulon
has conducted himself with the utmost dignity and professionalism as he has awaited
the resolution of these allegations. I am happy to announce that SAC Hulon will
resume his duties and will return to lead the dedicated men and women of the Detroit
Field Office.”
