In a blog post, Peter Van Buren claimed the married high-ranking member of the diplomatic corps engaged in the act with another State Department official.
The whistleblower, who was reportedly fired for revealing classified information in his memoir, said the philandering occurred during the U.S. occupation of Iraq.

He writes: 'What if a video existed that showed a prominent State Department VIP on the roof of the Republican Palace in Baghdad receiving, um, pleasure of an oral nature from another State Department officer not his wife, or even his journalist mistress of the time?'
He continues: 'What if that video has been passed around among Marine Security Guards at the Embassy to the point where it is considered "viral" with many copies made? 'What if the Deputy Chief of Mission... decided that the whole thing needed to be swept under the rug and made to go away, at least until some blogger got a hold of it.'

The site suggested the location and timing of the supposed sex act meant only a handful of officials could be implicated - including Brett McGurk, a nominee to be the next ambassador to Iraq.
He also mentions other examples of questionable behaviour, including an agent who once posed for Playboy magazine.
Van Buren, who has served with the agency for 23 years, was a foreign service officer who served in Iraq.
He is currently fighting the State Department about details in his book, We Meant Well: How I Helped Lose The Battle For The Hearts And Minds of The Iraqi People.
The State Department reportedly fired Van Buren for alleged violations of its policy, including failing to clear each blog post with his bosses and leaking classified information in his book.
He was also slated for criticising Hilary Clinton and former presidential candidate Michelle Bachmann on his blog.
The State Department has not yet responded to a request for comment.
