Former Delaware Supreme Court Chief Justice E. Norman Veasey has been named independent counsel to lead a probe into possible violations of state campaign finance laws, state Attorney General Beau Biden said today.
“I am honored to be appointed to this position of independent counsel,” said Veasey, a registered Republican and senior partner at the prestigious firm of Weil, Gotshal & Manges.
Veasey’s appointment is the result of a more than yearlong investigation into federal election violations by liquor executive Christopher J. Tigani. Earlier this month, Tigani, who ran the family’s lucrative N.K.S. Distributors Inc. in New Castle, pleaded guilty to two federal felony violations of campaign-finance law and two counts of tax fraud.
