The department’s Office of the Inspector General called for further investigation into the allegations against Johnson, a friend and campaign contributor to President Donald Trump. State Department officials replied to the watchdog office that no further investigation is necessary because Johnson is “well aware of his responsibility to set the right tone for his mission,” according to the report. While the Office of the Inspector General said it continues to believe the State Department should further examine Johnson's alleged conduct, the State Department said it considers the matter closed. The report provides no details about the alleged comments by Johnson, which officials learned about during a periodic review of the embassy. That former employee and the other officials were not authorized to discuss the ongoing inspector general report and spoke on the condition of anonymity.
