FBI looks into ex-NC Gov. Easley's air travel
Posted By ap 7 months, 2 weeks ago in NewsRALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — The FBI wants records involving the air travel of former North Carolina Gov. Mike Easley and his family.
The FBI subpoenaed the state Highway Patrol on Friday. The subpoena seeks information about Easley's travel on privately owned aircraft while he was in office and documents regarding who paid for the trips.
The subpoena is part of a grand jury investigation, but does not reveal the specific nature of the probe.
The state Board of Elections is investigating at least 25 trips that Easley took on private jets after The News & Observer of Raleigh reported that he didn't pay for some flights.
The Democrat stepped down earlier this year because term limits prevented him from running again. He is now a partner at a law firm.
Easley didn't immediately return a telephone message.
