The chief of South Carolina's state police says his agency is trying to determine how unemployed U.S. Senate candidate Alvin Greene got the money to pay his filing fee in the Democratic primary and if Greene broke any laws by the way he presented his financial situation in a court case.
But a spokesman for the state attorney general's office, whose authorization is needed for the subpoenas, says no application had been received as of late Monday morning.
State Law Enforcement Division Chief Reggie Lloyd told the State newspaper of Columbia that agents will use a new law allowing them to issue an administrative subpoena to financial institutions to force them to produce records during the investigation of financial crimes.
Greene, a 32-year-old political unknown with no fundraising or website, stunned party establishment when he won 59 percent of the vote to defeat former state lawmaker Vic Rawl in the June 8 primary to face GOP U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint, the heavy favorite in the fall.
