FBI arrests 2 men in DC accused of impersonating federal officers; 4 Secret Service agents placed on leave
Taherzadeh and Ali's alleged ruse was uncovered when a US Postal Inspector started investigating an alleged assault of a USPS letter carrier in an apartment complex where the two men allegedly had multiple units, according to court documents. The inspector interviewed the men as potential witnesses of the assault, and they identified themselves as investigators with the US Special Police investigating the January 6, 2021 attack on the US Capitol as well as gang activity, the documents said.
Throughout the investigation, the inspector learned that the two men had given gifts to members of the USSS. The inspector provided the information to the DHS Office of Inspector General, which then contacted the FBI, according to the affidavit.
CNN has not been able to identify attorneys for the two men. They are currently being detained and will be arraigned Thursday in the US District Court in Washington, DC, before Magistrate Judge G. Michael Harvey. https://www.cnn.com/2022/04/07/politics/fbi-arrests-federal-officer-impersonation/index.html
