FRANKLIN, Tenn. (AP) – The Tennessee attorney general's office has requested that Rep. Jeremy Durham turn over all state electronic devices and personal email accounts as part of an investigation into sexual harassment allegations, the Republican lawmaker said Tuesday.
Durham, who has denied any wrongdoing, told the Williamson Herald on Tuesday (http://bit.ly/1PPBLMn) that he considers the scope of the investigation "unreasonable," and that he will seek Attorney General Herbert Slatery's recusal. Parts of Williamson County are in his district.
Durham, who did not immediately return an email message from The Associated Press on Tuesday evening, said he has turned over his legislative iPad and that Slatery's office has already made a copy of his hard drive at the General Assembly.
But Durham is seeking legal advice before deciding whether to comply with Slatery's request for all personal email accounts since January 2013.
