Federal Prosecutors Unraveling Huge Corruption Scandal

The long-running investigation appears to be entering a new phase at the hands of the Justice Department lawyers from Washington, D.C., who recently took over the case.
The shift came in part because of suspicion that the U.S. attorney's office in Las Vegas had stalled the investigation.
