Federal prosecutors withdraw from investigation targeting GOP’s Andy Ogles

Federal prosecutors have withdrawn from the investigation of Tennessee Congressman Andy Ogles, which could indicate a shift in the Trump administration's approach to the case against him.

Frank Figliuzzi, a former FBI Assistant Director, commented that corruption cases involving Trump's allies may be dropped.
