Summary
Tuesday's court order accepted a special counsel's finding that Kevin Bolan should face no serious discipline for withholding information from a federal judge in a migrant case.
Judge Melissa DuBose had sought the inquiry after Bolan failed to disclose that Bryan Rafael Gomez was wanted for homicide in the Dominican Republic when she set bond in April.
The Rhode Island federal court still said information had been deliberately concealed to discredit DuBose and faulted the Department of Homeland Security for making false statements about the episode.
Homeland Security had later branded DuBose an "activist Biden judge" for releasing a "wanted murderer," while Bolan said he withheld the warrant information under department instructions.
