FBI Whistleblower asks judge to withdraw

WASHINGTON, March 24 (UPI) -- An FBI whistleblower is calling on the judge in her case to recuse himself, because his decision to keep his financial disclosure information private creates the appearance of a conflict of interest.

Sibel Edmonds, a former FBI contract linguist who revealed the parlous state of the bureau's translation unit, filed her motion in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia Wednesday.

Citing the provision of the U.S. code that requires a federal judge to disqualify himself "in any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned," Edmonds' motion asks for District Judge Reggie Walton to withdraw and another judge to be assigned to the case.

The case in question -- a suit under the Federal Tort Claims Act -- is the latest in a series that Edmonds has fought against the FBI in furtherance of her claim that she was retaliated against by managers after raising serious questions about security in the bureau's Washington translation unit.
