FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION LAUNCHES INVESTIGATION OF INDEPENDENT COUNSEL ROBERT RAY
Judicial Watch Complaint Sparks Probe of Ray’s Illegal Run for NJ Seat in U.S. Senate
Ray’s Final Report On Clinton Investigations Challenged By Judicial Watch
(Washington, DC) Judicial Watch, the public interest law firm that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, revealed today that the Federal Election Commission has commenced an investigation of Independent Counsel Robert W. Ray based on a February 21, 2002 complaint by Judicial Watch.
Judicial Watch requested a thorough investigation of Ray based on confirmed reports of his conduct in running as the Republican candidate for one of New Jersey’s seats in the U.S. Senate, while simultaneously serving as Independent Counsel. Ray has met with New Jersey Republican leaders and has spoken at fundraising events. At a minimum, Ray’s actions are a gross violation of ethics regulations, as well as a violation of law.
A copy of the FEC’s letter confirming the investigation of Mr. Ray can be found by clicking here.
“Independent Counsel Ray’s political ambitions and desire for the power of a U.S. Senate seat call the OIC’s investigative process and prosecutorial decisions of his entire effort into question. Judicial Watch will formally challenge his findings,” stated Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel Larry Klayman. “There’s now reason to believe that portions of Ray’s final report were falsified in the name of political expediency. As just one example, Ray finds no substantial evidence that White House contractors were threatened to keep quiet about 1.8 million incriminating e-mail about the Clinton scandals. This is simply false and Judicial Watch will prove it to the three judge panel that oversees Ray,” Klayman added.
