From CNN:

    WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The top federal prosecutor in New York will lead an investigation into whether computer files of Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats were accessed improperly, the panel's leading Democrat said Monday.

    Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont said the Justice Department had assigned acting U.S. Attorney David Kelley in Manhattan to pursue the politically sensitive case in which Republicans gained access to confidential Democratic files.
