LOGAN, Utah (AP) -- A federal probe into alleged improprieties inside the Cache County Attorney's Office has apparently ended.
In a statement released Saturday, County Attorney George Daines says federal authorities have advised him that "no further investigation is warranted" and no referral for possible federal charges was made to the U.S. Attorney for Utah.
Daines says he was offended by the conduct of federal prosecutors and FBI agents who he claims leaked information that an investigation was under way.
A defense attorney for a northern Utah physician convicted of sexual battery alleged the FBI was investigating Daines for subverting a witness in the case.
The FBI would not confirm or deny the claim, but said two agents had been in Logan conducting interviews.
