Richard Trask's career with the FBI ends in disgrace.
The lead investigator in the Gov. Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping conspiracy case from 2020 pleaded no contest to aggravated assault charges in connection with allegations he beat his wife in July after returning home from a swingers party, The Detroit News reports.
Kalamazoo County Circuit Judge Gary Giguere sentenced him Monday to time served and ordered him to pay court costs for the misdemeanor. Pleading no contest means that he accepts the conviction but avoids admitting guilt.
Trask's attorney, Sarissa K. Montague, tells the paper: "This was a difficult situation for the family. ... We are looking forward to moving forward."
Trask, an FBI agent since 2011 was fired in September.
Before joining the bureau, he was an agent for the Air Force's Office of Special Investigations.
