(Associated Press) The investigation and possible prosecution of metropolitan Phoenix Sheriff Joe Arpaio will be handled by the U.S. Justice Department after federal prosecutors in Arizona asked to be removed because of unspecified conflicts of interest, according to a court filing made public Friday.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for Arizona said in its brief filing in U.S. District Court in Phoenix that the case has been assigned to the Justice Department’s criminal division, public integrity section.
The filing cited “existing conflicts of interest or the appearance of conflicts of interest pertaining to the matter” for Arizona’s federal prosecutors, but it did not provide details.
