Attorney General Bell personally directs the inquiry into claims U N Ambassador Andrew Young interceded with prison officials for a political donation from Thevis the Atlanta pornographer. Bell says Young is not a target the probe continues with grand jury questioning.
A letter to McLean was served with a subpoena while she visited Thevis at the Medical Center for Federal Prisoners in Springfield Missouri last month. Speculation links Bell a Carter adviser from Georgia to the case citing sensitivities around the president’s campaign fund and Lance’s resignation. An unidentified government informant with similar charges to earlier FBI inquiries reportedly quoted Thevis claiming Young assisted him in negotiating with prison officials in exchange for campaign donations.
The article reports that Bell renewed an investigation into possible unfair treatment of death row inmates linked to Thevis matter. It notes Young saying FBI interviews occurred last spring and claims no charges. A prior probe was closed but reopened under Bell guidance due to new allegations from a former Thevis cellmate.
