The Detroit News reports that a paralegal at the United States Attorney's Office is suspended after officials suspected she leaked confidential information to Detroit political consultant Sam Riddle while he was under criminal investigation.
U.S. Attorney's Office spokeswoman Gina Balaya said Monday that Wendolyn Greene, formerly Wendolyn Johnson, "is still an employee of this office." Beyond that, "we can't discuss her status at all," she said. Greene herself answered "no" Monday when asked if she still worked for the federal prosecutor's office in Detroit, where she was a paralegal in the special prosecutions unit.
The News reports: “People familiar with the investigation said the controversy arose about a year ago, close to the time that news of the Synagro Technologies Inc. bribery scandal became public. Riddle had dated Greene and federal officials suspected he got information from her relevant to an ongoing federal investigation, sources said.”
Detroit News sources also said that the United States Attorney's Office in Grand Rapids is conducting an investigation related to Greene, to avoid any conflict of interest. Gerald K. Evelyn, a Detroit criminal attorney representing Greene, did not respond to a call or an e-mail from the Detroit News on Monday.
