FBI seizes computer in search of Spokane mayor's home







SPOKANE, Wash. -- A personal computer and related records were seized in an FBI search of embattled Mayor James E. West's home as part of a federal investigation into public corruption allegations, The Spokesman-Review newspaper has reported.

West, who is fighting allegations that he used his office to offer City Hall jobs to young men he met in a gay online chat room, was present with an attorney when FBI agents searched his West Spokane home July 27, the newspaper reported.

West's lawyers, Bill Etter and Carl Oreskovich, issued a statement Friday saying the search of the mayor's computer was a routine part of the FBI's investigation and that the mayor was fully cooperating.

(snip)

The warrant was based on probable cause suggesting West violated federal public corruption laws, using interstate wire communications, the newspaper reported.
