| Description | Former Memphis Mayor Willie W. Herenton has been informed that he is a target of a federal criminal probe and has complained to U.S. Atty. Gen. Eric H. Holder that he believes the target letter he received "is grounded solely in politics."
Herenton is a candidate for the Democratic nomination in the 9th Congressional District against incumbent Rep. Steve Cohen next year.
Herenton forwarded a copy of his letter to Holder to The Commercial Appeal this afternoon. In it he says he was informed by the local U.S. Attorney's Office that he is a target of an investigation involving "personal business transactions that I participated in while mayor and which specifically concern a local Greyhound Bus Line property." |
