District of Columbia Attorney General Brian Schwalb has once more refuted requests from Republican congress members for information surrounding speculated investigations into Leonard Leo, a report by Gina Kim discloses. In his response, dated Tuesday, Schwalb noted that these inquiries do not specify any valid legislative objective.
Moreover, Schwalb indicated that the requests seemingly attempt to enhance an “erroneous and ill-founded accusation” that his office is swayed by political interests. This reaction marks the second time that the DC Attorney General has dismissed such information requisitions regarding the alleged investigations into Leonard Leo.
More details about this situation are provided in Gina Kim’s full report on Law360.
