Gov. Joe Manchin‘s office confirmed today that state government officials have been contacted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office this week regarding an ongoing investigation. The target may be Manchin himself, according to a source who asked to remain anonymous.
Manchin’s office says he’s not the target of the investigation.
In a year where Republicans lead the generic ballot and may very well take back both Houses of Congress, Joe Manchin was the sure thing to save the seat long held by Byrd.
But could this be enough to turn voters off?
