FBI counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok was escorted from the building amid an internal review of his conduct, his lawyer confirmed Tuesday.

Strzok, who had a central role in the FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server while serving as secretary of State, was reportedly escorted from the FBI building on Friday amid an internal review of his conduct.

Aitan Goelman, Mr. Strzok�s lawyer, confirmed in a statement that his client �was escorted from the building as part of the ongoing examination process.�

In the statement, attorney Aitan Goelman says his client remains a proud FBI agent who wants to keep serving the country but has been the target of �unfounded personal attacks.�

Goelman says Strzok has �complied with every FBI procedure, including being escorted from the building as part of the ongoing internal proceedings.�

Strzok was sharply criticized in an inspector general report last week for trading anti-Trump text messages with an FBI lawyer.
