Anna Mantegna April 20. 2018 Page 2 The Notice Letter further states that Ms. Mosby?s Of?ce terminated Ms. Mantegna "only after that Ms. Mantegna refused to break the law and disclose con?dential infonnation ofa sealed FBI investigation into the Mosby Administration." Id. at 4. All of these statements are false and defamatory. You were terminated because an FBI investigation revealed you had leaked the existence of an investigation of certain members of the Baltimore Police Department?s Gun Trace Task Force to another member of the G.T.T.F. On February 15. 2018. before you were terminated. Ms. Mosby received a letter from Stephen M. Schenning. the Acting United States Attorney for the District of Maryland (the ?Schenning Letter"). We received permission from Mr. Schenning to share a redacted version of that letter with you. and it is enclosed. The Schenning Letter reveals that you disclosed infomiation to Baltimore Police Department Sergeant Wayne Jenkins. one of the defendants convicted in the G.T.T.F. inv estigation. about a pending investigation of Baltimore Police Department Detective .lemell Rayam. another of the defendants convicted in the G.T.T.F. investigation. Mr. Schenning stated that telephone records "identi?ed a 17 minute phone call between Jenkins and a phone tied to ASA Ana Montegna [sic] on October 5. 2016.? Schenning Letter 2. That same day. a federal wiretap recorded Of?cer Momodu Gondo (one of the defendants convicted in the G.T.T.F. investigation) telling Of?cer Evodio Hendrix (another of the defendants convicted in the G.T.T.F. investigation) that Jenkins had spoken with a female ASA who told Jenkins that some members of the G.T.T.F. were under investigation. Id. Jenkins later told the Bl that during the October 5. 2016 telephone call. you ?advised him to stay away from Rayam because he had just lost a Franks hearing and was being vgsg'gated for l?gg gag stealing." Id. Mr. Schenning?s letter indicates that you were the Assistant State's Attorney referenced in Jenkins' written plea agreement. which stated: learned that Gondo, Rayam, or both of them. were under investigation from other BPD officers and from an Assith State?s Attorney in the Baltimore City State?s Attorney?s Office . . . [O]n October 5, 2016, JENKINS spoke with an Assistant State's Attorney who told him that Rayam was under investigation for lying and stealing. JENKINS then shared that information with Rayam.? Id. at 1. Mr. Schenning's letter also describes your interview with the FBI on January 16, 201 According to Mr. Schenning, you informed the FBI that you ?learned from a colleague 133,-. f- . . Rayam had caused the State to lose a Franks hearing? and that you were ?aware of i history being investigated by Internal Affairs." Id. at 3. You admitted to the FBI phone conversation with Jenkins on October 5. 2016. in order to warn him about 1 Rayam." Id. You admitted to ?telling Jenkins that ?Those guys are cracked, like ahawk.??

Anna Mantegna April 20. 2018 Page 3 Cease and desist from making any statements (or from directing anyone else to make such statements) that your termination was related to your supposed refusal to disclose information to Ms. Mosby or the Baltimore City State?s Attorney?s Of?ce about an FBI investigation into the Mosby Administration. Also. cease and desist from making any Statements (or from directing anyone else to make such statements) that your termination was related to fear that you were assisting the FBI with an investigation into the Mosby Administration. Any such statements would be false and defamatory and would be knowingly false or, at the very least. in reckless disregard of the truth. At the time of your termination. neither Ms. Mosby nor anyone acting on her behalf ever asked you about what you stated to the FBI: they had already been informed of your statements to the FBI by Mr. Schenning. You were terminated after Mr. Schenning informed Ms. Mosby that you had revealed to Jenkins that another of?cer (who was evntually convicted in the G.T.T.F. investigation) was under investigation. Fm'thermore, before you were tanninatod. Mr. Schenning revealed that the only federal investigation into personnel in the Baltimore- City State?s Attorney?s Of?ce was an investigation of your disclosure to Jenkins ofa panting investigation of another officer.
