Michigan Republicans may try to impeach Attorney General Dana Nessel
Lansing — Michigan House Republicans said they might try to impeach the state's Democratic attorney general, Dana Nessel, in her eighth and final year in office, accusing her of inappropriately wading into two investigations involving her allies.
But Nessel's supporters countered that the GOP lawmakers on the House Oversight Committee are engaging in political theater and are misinterpreting or inaccurately portraying emails they obtained through subpoenas.
At the center of the claims are internal firewalls that were set up within Nessel's office to prevent conflicts of interest in ongoing investigations. An Attorney General's office probe that was supposed to be walled off from Nessel focused on Traci Kornak, a lawyer who served in 2018 on Nessel's attorney general transition team. The other probe that Republicans have examined focused on Bipartisan Solutions, a nonprofit organization that contributed $782,000 to Fair and Equal Michigan, a ballot proposal committee co-chaired by Nessel's wife, Alanna Maguire.
House Republicans obtained emails that showed Kornak had contacted Nessel and asked to receive documents related to the investigation into her. The emails also suggested that Nessel had spoken with Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, a fellow Democrat, about a campaign finance investigation into Bipartisan Solutions.
