Fed subpoena cites Finneran
Federal prosecutors who have opened a criminal investigation into the [Massachusetts] House redistricting process have specifically cited Speaker Thomas M. Finneran in the subpoena they issued, asking for documents that would demonstrate his involvement in the 2001 redistricting, according to a lawyer who has reviewed the subpoena.
Finneran's name is the only one that appears on the subpoena, the lawyer said, a strong indication that the federal investigation is focusing on the veracity of the speaker's testimony in a recent federal trial in which he denied involvement in drawing the legislative map. In an unusual rebuke, the three-judge panel that heard the case questioned the truthfulness of Finneran's assertions.
In addition to records kept by the House Redistricting Committee, the subpoena also seeks hard drives from computers used in redistricting, the lawyer said. -- Finneran actions focus of US subpoena (Boston Globe)
