Baldwin County’s district attorney is calling for the FBI to investigate a budget deficit and says the request has full support.
Key takeaways
The district attorney for Baldwin County has called for the FBI to investigate a budget deficit. The request places the issue with a federal law-enforcement agency rather than limiting the matter to local review.
The district attorney has said the request is fully supported. The call for an investigation concerns the county’s budget deficit, but the size of the deficit and the records involved are not stated.
A call for an FBI investigation is a request for federal review. It does not establish that the FBI has opened an investigation or reached any conclusion about the deficit.
The district attorney’s action also does not, by itself, determine whether any law was broken. Those questions would depend on any review and on records or findings that may follow.
The next procedural questions are whether the FBI responds to the request and whether any inquiry is opened. Additional attention may also focus on the county’s budget records and any official explanation of the deficit.
The development was reported by 13WMAZ.
