Brings Two Decades of Justice Department and Intelligence Agency Experience
Washington—February 17, 2021: Michael K. Atkinson, the former Inspector General of the U.S. Intelligence Community, is joining Crowell & Moring as a partner, expanding the firm’s white collar, internal investigations, and national security capabilities.
As the former presidentially appointed and Senate confirmed chief watchdog of the nation’s 17 intelligence agencies, Atkinson led dozens of high-profile investigations, including the investigation of the Ukraine whistleblower complaint that led to the first impeachment trial of then-President Trump. Atkinson supervised investigations related to counterintelligence and cybersecurity matters, procurement fraud, unauthorized disclosures of classified information, intelligence oversight abuses, and other highly sensitive allegations.
