DHS Investigates Gregory Bovino's Remarks About Prosecutor's Jewish Faith The Department of Homeland Security has launched an investigation into the remarks made by Gregory Bovino, a former prosecutor, about a colleague's Jewish faith. The investigation was sparked after a complaint was filed alleging that Mr. Bovino had made anti-Semitic comments during a meeting with other prosecutors in the Manhattan District Attorney's office. According to sources familiar with the matter, Mr. Bovino allegedly made several comments during the meeting that were perceived as being directed at one of his colleagues, Assistant District Attorney Rachel Katz, who is Jewish. The comments were reportedly about Ms. Katz's faith and were seen by some attendees as being discriminatory and offensive. The investigation was announced on Tuesday by the Department of Homeland Security, which has jurisdiction over cases involving discrimination based on religion or other protected characteristics. In a statement, a department spokesperson said that the agency takes allegations of anti-Semitism seriously and is committed to ensuring that all individuals are treated fairly and without discrimination. Mr. Bovino's remarks were reportedly made during a meeting in January, but it wasn't until recently that the complaint was filed and the investigation was launched. The Manhattan District Attorney's office has also launched an internal investigation into the matter, according to sources. Ms. Katz, who is a respected prosecutor in the DA's office, has declined to comment on the matter. Mr. Bovino could not be reached for comment, as he has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation. The investigation into Mr. Bovino's remarks comes at a time when anti-Semitism is on the rise across the country.
