Coburn turns over 1,200 pages of documents related to Ensign
By Alexander Bolton - 07/23/10 07:01 PM ET


Sen. Tom Coburn has given more than 1,200 pages of documents to the Department of Justice to aid its corruption investigation of Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.).

Coburn, a Republican from Oklahoma, shared the material in response to request for information from prosecutors. He did not receive a subpoena.

The documents include almost every piece of e-mail correspondence that mentioned Ensign over a span of several months, including news articles that discussed the two lawmakers, said an aide to Coburn.

“He wanted to err on the side of full disclosure,” said Coburn spokesman John Hart.

“He was asked to send over information related to the matter and has done so,” said Hart. “He said he would gladly comply with any official inquiry and that’s what he’s doing.”

Coburn has also said he would be willing to let federal prosecutors interview him. They have not made a request thus far.
