FBI seeks Kenney campaign records as part of union probe
Federal authorities have subpoenaed finance records and receipts from Mayor Kenney's campaign committee as part of their investigation into the local electricians union and its leader, John "Johnny Doc" Dougherty, the mayor said Friday.
In an interview, Kenney said that the committee intended to comply with the request, received earlier this month. He said he had no reason to suspect that he or any member of his campaign or administration was a target of the probe.
"I think the federal government is doing their job, and we're going to accommodate their requests for information every step of the way," he said. "What will come out will come out."
The subpoena came, the mayor said, shortly after a series of coordinated FBI raids earlier this month on the hall of Local 98 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and several houses and offices tied to Dougherty and his close allies, including City Councilman Bobby Henon, a former political director for the union who remains on its payroll.
