An FBI agent charged with assaulting a woman no longer works on FBI matters, according to a representative of the bureau.
Richard Trask was arrested after an incident at his Kalamazoo-area home in July. He was charged with assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder.
The incident was subject to internal review, according to Special Agent Joseph Lupinacci in Detroit.
Until the review was finished, Lupinacci said steps had been taken to ensure Trask no longer worked on FBI matters. He said the FBI couldn't provide more information until after the review was complete.
Trask was the lead agent in the case surrounding an alleged plot to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
After his arrest, attorneys attempted to raise questions about the integrity of other FBI agents involved in the case.
Trask faces 10 years in prison if convicted.
