The FBI says it has given state prosecutors all relevant documents from its investigation of former Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff — and even if it hasn't, the Constitution likely bars a state judge from ordering it to turn over more.
The agency made those contentions in court papers filed late Friday in 3rd District Court, opposing a request from Davis County Attorney Troy Rawlings. In August, Rawlings asked a state judge to force the federal government to share additional evidence from a probe by the Department of Justice's Public Integrity Section. The section's investigation was shuttered in September 2013.
