Clackamas and Multnomah County District Attorneys, John Foote and Rod Underhill, have requested that the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Oregon conduct the federal criminal investigations of the Michael Fesser/West Linn Police Department matter. U.S. Attorney Bill Williams has graciously agreed to assume that responsibility. His office will investigate any possible federal crimes that might have been committed in this matter. Both the Clackamas County and Multnomah County District Attorney’s Offices will fully investigate any possible “Brady” issues that are related to these issues. Further, any possible state criminal investigations will be conducted by either the U.S. Attorney’s Office or the Clackamas County District Attorney’s Office. We will work closely with each other through this process.
