WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — The chief executive of Delaware’s largest county is calling for a federal investigation into the campaign finances of the state’s lieutenant governor, who is his chief rival for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination. New Castle County Executive Matt Meyer held a news conference Monday to respond to a forensic review commissioned by the state Department of Elections that uncovered significant improprieties in Lt. Gov. Bethany Hall-Long’s campaign finances. Hall-Long’s campaign released a statement accusing Meyer of engaging in “a desperate political attack” to distract voters. A spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Delaware declined to comment on Meyer’s call for a federal investigation.
