Bell revived investigation ties to Young’s political donations

A department source said Young was a focus of a revived probe led by Bell with new allegations from a former Thevis prisonmate. Theism funded Carter campaign via Young and Bert Lance through channeling money to the Bahama accounts, while McLean faces grand jury subpoenas in Atlanta as part of the same case.

Prison letters fuel suspicions in Thevis case tied to campaign fund

Sources say Bell and Carter adviser links raise doubts about prison dealings and campaign donations. An unidentified informant quoted Thevis as saying Young aided him with prison officials in exchange for contributions.
