Hagan says prosecutor should stay, finish probe
RALEIGH (Winston-Salem Journal) - U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan said yesterday that she has recommended that the White House not replace the U.S. attorney leading an investigation into former Gov. Mike Easley, saying that the prosecutor should stay to complete his work.
Hagan, D-N.C., said she didn't want to politicize the process by rushing to replace the Republican appointee in the midst of federal investigations involving two Democrats -- Easley and two-time presidential candidate John Edwards.
"I don't feel that it's going to be in North Carolina's best interest, currently, to replace someone who is investigating these two very high-profile people," Hagan said. "If an investigation is going on, he ought to have the opportunity to complete that investigation."
