Massachusetts Attorney General Calls for Federal Investigation Into Christie/Baker Scandal
Boston TV station WCVB and the Boston Globe are reporting this morning that Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley is requesting a federal investigation of the pension scandal first exposed by Pando and now engulfing Gov. Chris Christie and Massachusetts GOP gubernatorial candidate Charlie Baker. Her call was echoed by the co-chairman of the New Jersey legislature’s Select Committee on Investigation.
WCVB political reporter Janet Wu broke the news of Coakley’s announcement in a tweet (also confirmed by a WCVB producer and the Globe) previewing the station’s upcoming “On the Record” interview with Coakley, who is herself a candidate for governor:
