Attorney General Kathleen Kane argued, as far back as seven months ago, that a political corruption investigation her office shuttered had been presented to federal prosecutors, who then passed on the case, recently unsealed documents outlining the investigation indicate.
Kane’s office made the assertion in a filing from early October, which claims that her office met with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and the FBI about a sting operation that allegedly caught five state officials accepting bribes on audio and video tape, but federal authorities passed on the case.
