Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) is under investigation by a local attorney in Utah.
Davis County Attorney Troy Rawlings, a Republican, said the investigation of the Democratic leader is linked to a probe into former Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff, who is facing public corruption charges but has denied wrongdoing.
"We are looking into allegations related to Senator Reid (and others) due to ... the overlap in facts and multiple witnesses with the Mark Shurtleff case (Mr. Shurtleff himself even reported what he felt may be potential crimes)
[and] the direction of the evidence we have accumulated it demands a thorough vetting by someone with authority," Rawlings said in a written statement.
He added that "Shurtleff, Senator Reid and the others are presumed innocent and may in fact be innocent."
