FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - A prosecutor says grand jurors in a western Kentucky county have decided not to issue indictments after reviewing claims that Democratic Bruce Lunsford's Senate campaign tampered with a GOP digital recorder.
Assistant Marshall County Attorney Jason Darnall said Sheriff Kevin Byars presented evidence to the 12 grand jurors in a brief meeting Friday that began at 1 p.m. CST.
The tape recorder incident flared after the race's final debate between Republican U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell and Lunsford last week. National Republican Senatorial Committee staffer Richard St. Onge III filed a complaint claiming a recorder he placed on Lunsford's podium was taken and the contents were erased.
McConnell was re-elected on Tuesday.
