The FBI has remained silent on whether it will fire or discipline the agent who initially told the media and public that the shocking New Year's Day attack in New Orleans was "not a terrorist event," before the agency quickly backtracked and reported the attack was in fact under investigation as a terror incident.

Fox News Digital reached out to the FBI's press office and press secretary on Thursday and Friday, inquiring whether New Orleans field office FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge Alethea Duncan would face termination or disciplinary action over her initial claim the attack was not connected to terrorism, but did not receive replies. Fox Digital also called the FBI press office on Friday morning but could not leave a message regarding the inquiry as the voicemail box was full.

After chaos unfolded on Bourbon Street early Wednesday morning as New Year's revelers celebrated the holiday, Duncan spoke during a press conference, declaring the attack was not connected to terrorism.

DEI hire.

I hope Trump cleans house in so many law enforcement agencies (IRS/CIA/FBI/DOJ).

I’m surprised they didn’t come out and say it was a weather baloon.

Nose ring was a DEI hire. She’s untouchable.

Bet she’s already done a ‘sexual harassment complaint’ as well to make sure she’s really un-firable.

She stuck to the script. In the short run she may get a promotion but I don’t see a long career for DEI SAIC.

I SUSPECT she was told by her boss prior to going before the press to say that:

“we do not believe this was a terrorist attack at this point in time”

Or something akin to that.

If they send her to Hawaii, you can count on an attack there sooner or later. I’m sure they are smart enough to attack DEI controlled areas.

She made that declaration before the investigation was even started. She should be fired.

They should fire her for failing English and wearing a nose ring.

No chance she gets fired for another 17 days. After that, it becomes a test of Trump’s strong words.

The Negress has a pierced nose, contrary to FBI dress code. Like a robot, without
any information, li'l Miss DEI couldn't wait to blurt out "It's not a terrorist event."
