Summary: John Doe, a Federal Officer, was submitted to administrative questioning while being investigated. The investigation arose from a false accusation alleging that he provided a coworker with a class 4 schedule drug. On the advice of his union, Doe refused to answer a question regarding his prescription for the medication. He was also asked if he was being treated for a behavioral health condition. Doe was then charged with "refusal to cooperate with an investigation" and his employment was terminated.
Is there any law or regulation that would protect Doe for declining to answer the question?
