FBI is asked to investigate Marc Dann

Focus might be related to gambling interests

By Alan Johnson and James Nash
Columbus Dispatch

COLUMBUS: 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 only on the condition of anonymity said 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, would not comment.

Dann spokesman Ted Hart initially said Monday that he was unaware of an FBI probe.

However, Hart then talked to Dann, who told him that he knew that the Ohio Organized Crime Investigations Commission had initiated a gambling investigation.

Dann, who is chairman of the commission, ''recused himself from that investigation from the beginning,'' Hart said.

The commission's six members are appointed by the governor. The group works closely with law-enforcement organizations to investigate specific criminal issues, including violent crime, burglary and, more recently, foreclosure scams.
