The FBI is looking into pardons issued by former Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin, a Republican, including of a murderer and a child rapist, according to a report.
The Louisville Courier Journal, citing two sources familiar with the matter, reported late Monday that an FBI agent had spoken with a Kentucky state representative, Rep. Chris Harris, about a criminal investigation into Bevin's pardons.
Harris, who had called for an investigation into the ex-governor, told the Courier Journal that he'd been contacted last week by a criminal investigator about Bevin's pardons. Harris refused to comment on which law enforcement agency the investigator was from.
