Baltimore County Officials Notified Of Wiretapping Investigation

Agents are not disclosing details of an investigation, but the FBI and U.S. Attorney's Office confirmed to The Baltimore Sun that letters were sent to Baltimore County officials telling them that their phones were part of a wiretap investigation dating back several years.

The wiretapping included the phones of employees of the county executive and county council members.

"Members of the county executive's staff have been assured that they are not in any way subject to an investigation," said Don Mohler, County Executive Kevin Kamenetz's chief of staff.

Mohler said he received one of the letters along with County Administrative Officer Fred Homan, Deputy Administrative Officer Donna Morris, and Arnold Jablon, director of the Department of Permits, Approvals and Inspections.
