Harry Reid Pressed in Utah Pay-to-Play Probe

By Published on November 19, 2015

A Utah state prosecutor who has been investigating allegations of wrongdoing against Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid for more than a year on Wednesday night challenged the Senate minority leader to voluntarily provide evidence to clear his name.

Davis County District Attorney Troy Rawlings, who is pursuing a corruption case against a former Utah attorney general where Mr. Reid’s name surfaced, issued the challenge after Mr. Reid’s office dismissed the prosecutors’ investigation as a witch hunt designed to burnish Mr. Rawlings’ political career.

“I have no political career,” Mr. Rawlings told The Washington Times, saying he doesn’t plan to run for any other office except local prosecutor. “This is not a PR game.”

In a detailed statement directly addressed to Mr. Reid, Nevada Democrat, he asked for voluntary cooperation in his investigation, including a waiver under the Freedom of Information Act so that the FBI could release evidence it gathered involving the Nevada senator.
