Sheriff Clarke denies he's still under FBI investigation for plane incident

Source: The Hill



BY JOHN BOWDEN - 12/30/17 08:47 AM EST

Milwaukee Sheriff David Clarke Jr. on Friday night denied reports that he was under FBI investigation after several news outlets reported a March search warrant had been filed targeting Clarke's personal email address.

Clarke was accused in January of ordering his deputies to question a man who Clarke believed showed him disrespect on an airplane. In a tweet on Saturday, Clarke accused the "lib media" of reporting a story from earlier in the year as current news, and provided a PDF of a letter from U.S. attorney Gregory Haanstad announcing that no criminal charges would be filed in the case.




Multiple news outlets reported on the unsealing of an affidavit Friday in the case that detailed the complaint from the victim, Dan Black, against Clarke, including Black's accusation that Clarke ordered him illegally detained for hours.

"They found no wrongdoing, that case is closed," Clarke told Fox News on Friday. "Here we are in December and they are trying to re-dig this story, re-hash it, with lies interwoven in between it to make it seem like this is something new."
