DOJ Reviewing Whether Harry Reid Campaign Broke Election Law

(FoxNews.com) - The Justice Department is reviewing a complaint from failed Republican Nevada Senate candidate Sharron Angle after allegations that Sen. Harry Reid's campaign engaged in voter intimidation and broke campaign finance law in his re-election campaign.

Laura Sweeney, a spokeswoman for the Justice Department, told FoxNews.com on Friday that the department is reviewing the complaint filed by an attorney for Angle that followed a National Review report about internal e-mails among Harrah's casino executives and a campaign staffer for Reid. The e-mails appear to show the group orchestrating an effort to push Harrah employees to get out and vote for Reid.

Sweeney would not comment further on the status of the review.

The complaint came after Reid prevailed Tuesday over Angle in their high-profile, bruising election, allowing Reid to remain as Senate majority leader.
