RALEIGH — North Carolina Sen. Kay Hagan said Wednesday she has recommended that the White House not replace the U.S. attorney leading an investigation into former Gov. Mike Easley, saying the prosecutor should stay on the job to complete his work.

Hagan, a Democrat, said she didn't want to politicize the process by rushing to replace the Republican appointee, especially in the midst of federal probes into two Democrats — Easley and two-time presidential candidate John Edwards

Republican Prosecutor Keeps Job
Region's top prosecutor will still lead investigations into Easley, Edwards

Republican U.S. Attorney George E.B. Holding appears to have kept his job, extending his control over federal investigations of North Carolina's two highest-profile Democrats of the past decade.

In a reversal from a few days ago, Democratic U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan said Wednesday that Holding should remain until investigations of former Gov. Mike Easley and former Sen. John Edwards are completed. She announced her decision after consulting with the White House.
