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.
