Federal agents who took payroll and other documents from the offices of prominent trial lawyer Geoffrey Fieger were seeking evidence of campaign finance violations from the 2004 presidential campaign, Fieger and his attorney said Thursday.
The 10 FBI and Internal Revenue Service agents were looking for documents relating to political candidates, as well as personnel and employee compensation records, according to an inventory filed in federal court Thursday.
Fieger, best known for defending assisted suicide advocate Jack Kevorkian, characterized it as persecution by Republicans in the U.S. attorney's office in Detroit and the attorneys general in Washington and Lansing. He is currently running for state attorney general.
"It's McCarthyism all over again," Fieger said.
