In the aftermath of last week's in-depth Salt Lake Tribune article series concerning Utah Attorney General John Swallow, who stands accused of participation in a 2010 congressional bribery scheme, the Trib reveals this morning something we already suspected, that Swallow is the "subject of an ongoing investigation by the Department of Justice and the FBI.":
"Swallow said in a statement Friday that he is happy the U.S. attorney is investigating 'the baseless allegations against me.'" For the time being, we'll have to take his word for that, we guess.
Needless to say, we'll be sitting on the edge of our seats, waiting to see how this DOJ probe shakes out.
