The FBI agent, according to several news reports, was friends with Kelley and she contacted him several weeks earlier seeking help.

The agent contacted Rep. Reichert with concerns that "officials were going to sweep the matter under the rug." Reichert's office reportedly forwarded on the concerns to top congressional officials, who notified FBI headquarters in Washington.

The agent was removed from the case, according to FBI officials, because he had "grown obsessed with the matter" and had "sent shirtless photos to Ms. Kelley well before the email investigation began," according to the Wall Street Journal.

No charges have been filed in the criminal investigation, but the FBI agent's conduct is currently under administrative review by the FBI's Office of Professional Responsibility.

Broadwell is currently under FBI investigation for improperly trying to access his email and possibly gaining access to classified information.

"top congressional officials" which did not include the proper officials like The Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee Dianne
Feinstein.
