A U.S. Justice Department lawyer acknowledged Monday that the FBI investigated members of the team representing Mohammed and the other Guantanamo Bay detainees accused of the September 11 attacks , prompting the lead defense lawyer to threaten to pull out of the case out of fears that he too is a subject of a federal probe . There could be more hearings on whether an FBI investigation caused a conflict of interest . The FBI questioned four people on defense team , none of them lawyers . They were asked to testify about their knowledge and opinions regarding the case before they would answer questions from congress. Assistant U.S. attorney says no one is currently under investigation .
