Associated Press= DETROIT (AP) — Michigan's attorney general has charged four of former U.S. Rep. Thaddeus McCotter's campaign staffers in an investigation into fake and duplicate signatures on nominating petitions.
Attorney General Bill Schuette announced charges Thursday ranging from forgery and conspiracy to falsely signing election documents.
McCotter isn't charged. Schuette says there's no direct evidence of McCotter's involvement but he says the congressman was "asleep at the switch." Schuette wouldn't rule out more charges in the future.
