The Detroit News is reporting witnesses discussed Republican Lee Chatfield’s travel, “excessive” spending, and the prescription drug “Adderall” in affidavits.
Todd Flood used to serve in the Attorney General’s office. He says details authorities are reviewing, like financial statements, usually stay private.
“You’re not going to be able to see any of those things in the public until the case is charged and is in court because those tools are tools of law enforcement.”
The Attorney General’s office says the documents were released to the Detroit News in error.
Chatfield’s attorney maintains his innocence saying those affidavits can come from “rumors, speculation, and outright falsehoods.”
