| Description | The FBI investigation involving the late Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.) is still open, according to documents released Tuesday.
The FBI disclosed 892 pages on Murtha in response to several Freedom of Information Act requests, including one from The Hill, and posted the documents on its website.
Parts of those files deal with federal authorities’ probe of various defense contractors and the PMA Group, a now-defunct lobby firm that was linked to Murtha through his earmarks for the firm’s clients as well as their campaign contributions to the longtime lawmaker.
“Mr. Murtha was also the subject of other ethical and potentially criminal complaints. … This release contains public source information found in a Pittsburgh Division investigation into allegations of kickbacks involving government defense contractors,” the FBI states on its website. “As this investigative file is still in ‘pending status,’ the bulk of the file’s FBI documents are not releasable until the conclusion of the investigation.” |
