From the Columbus Dispatch:

The FBI has been asked to investigate Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann, reportedly by a task force that is part of Dann’s office.

Sources who spoke on the condition of anonymity told The Dispatch that the investigation’s focus is Dann’s dealings with gambling interests, not the ongoing sexual-harassment scandal in his office that has cost four people their jobs and triggered calls by Gov. Ted Strickland and other Democratic leaders for Dann’s resignation or impeachment.

Michael Brooks, an FBI special agent who serves as spokesman, said, “We can neither confirm nor deny any investigation into the attorney general’s office.”

Dann spokesman Ted Hart initially said yesterday that he was unaware of an FBI probe. Hart, however, then talked to Dann, who told him that he knew the Ohio Organized Crime Investigations Commission had initiated a gambling investigation.
