The Louisville Courier Journal is reporting that Kentucky’s attorney general is asking the FBI to investigate former Gov. Matt Bevin’s pardons.

Attorney General Daniel Cameron, a Republican, cited concern for public safety in a letter he wrote to state legislators who had asked him to launch a state investigation into the pardons. The 650 pardons and commutations included cases involving a convicted child rapist and a man convicted of reckless homicide and robbery.

Cameron told the legislators he and his office will assist federal, state and local investigators as needed.
