Feds: FBI has given Shurtleff prosecutor “hundred of thousands” of documents

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.
