WASHINGTON (AP) - The U.S. Office of Special Counsel last year
shut down a previously undisclosed investigation into the federal
prosecution of former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman, according to an
internal memo from the agency.
The investigation was being conducted by a Special Counsel task
force formed a year ago to pursue high-profile political
investigations in Washington. It began gathering information on the
Siegelman case in September and was planning to request documents
from the Justice Department in October before it was ordered to
close the case, according to the Jan. 18 memo, made public by the
Project on Government Oversight.
The investigation was one of many that the task force had taken
up, and it was not the only one that the Special Counsel sought to
shut down.
