AKRON, Ohio (AP) - A defense attorney on Friday admitted giving an FBI memo to a newspaper reporter writing about a corruption probe, and a federal judge urged a prosecutor to investigate how two other sealed documents were leaked.
The reporter's story was one of two articles that The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer had delayed publishing out of concern there would be an investigation into who disclosed the documents. The story, about a federal probe of former Cleveland Mayor Michael R. White, was published Thursday after a weekly newspaper wrote about the case.
The same day, U.S. Attorney Gregory White asked the judge to find out who leaked the memo and two affidavits filed by FBI agents.
