A federal grand jury is examining allegations involving the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office after a judge raised concerns about how officials handled a case involving a convicted murderer.
Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner is facing renewed scrutiny after a federal grand jury reportedly issued subpoenas to his office as part of an investigation into possible obstruction of justice.
According to Fox News, the grand jury is examining “potential obstruction of justice relating to the handling of cases before federal judges.”
The investigation follows serious concerns expressed by U.S. District Court Judge Paul S. Diamond, who recently suggested that Krasner and one of his senior aides may have violated the law while dealing with a dispute inside the district attorney’s office.
