Federal prosecutors investigating corruption at Atlanta City Hall are widening their search. They want to see records from former Mayor Kasim Reed and his entire staff.
The federal grand jury subpoena issued on Aug. 22 asks for lots of information from the city.
It’s after spending, travel, and daily calendar information for Reed and all his staff from Jan. 1, 2010 to Dec. 31, 2018. That’s the entirety of his two terms as Atlanta mayor.
An earlier federal subpoena asked for spending records from Reed and key members of his administration.
One staffer named in that subpoena, Katrina Taylor-Parks, was charged with conspiracy to commit bribery and pleaded guilty earlier this month to accepting thousands of dollars in bribes. She’ll be sentenced to up to five years in prison in November.
The first charges in the case came in January 2017, and the federal prosecutor leading the investigation, U.S. Attorney BJay Pak, has said it’s far from over.
He recently told reporters he’s got additional staff on hand to bring the probe to a conclusion “expeditiously and thoroughly.”
