An ex-FBI director is setting up shop down the road from Mar-a-Lago, but no, it's not James Comey or Andrew McCabe.
Louis Freeh — who led the agency from 1993 to 2001 during the Clinton administration and was a U.S. District Court judge under President George W. Bush — has opened a branch of his consulting and investigative firm, Freeh Group International Solutions, on tony Worth Avenue in Palm Beach.
"We do a lot of what we call white-collar defense work," Freeh, 68, told The Palm Beach Daily News.
But Freeh's next big case could be an investigation into the mass shooting in Parkland.
Broward County is considering hiring Freeh to look into the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland in which 17 children and adults were shot dead.
Freeh told the Daily News that the best way to prevent school shootings is for more people to speak up and law enforcement and local officials must take those reports more seriously.
"If you had all that information and it's (sent) to the right decision maker at the right time, we believe a lot of these instances can be reduced," Freeh told the newspaper.
His new office is less than two miles north of President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago club.
Freeh previously investigated Penn State University's handling of the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal.
