That probe uncovered “derogatory information” that led the OIG to place Bakaj on leave ...
On Friday, Yahoo News revealed previously unpublished details of the DHS watchdog’s 36-page report examining Bakaj’s allegations that Buckley and others retaliated against him after he was accused of providing information to another investigation.
