U.S. District Court

DeCROCE STATEMENT REGARDING
U.S. DISTRICT COURT HEARING ON FEDERAL SUBPOENA

Assembly Republican Leader Alex DeCroce, R-Morris and Passaic, issued the following statement this afternoon:

"I have been informed by legal counsel that the entire proceeding before U.S. District Court Judge Mary Cooper is under seal and cannot be discussed by any parties. In fact, I have not even been informed as to what transpired. All 31 Assembly Republicans stand by their belief that the documents sought by the U.S. Attorney's Office from the Office of Legislative Services should be turned over immediately. The Senate President, Assembly Speaker and the Office of Legislative Services should never have allowed this matter to go to court. They should have freely cooperated with the U.S. Attorney, and I hope their actions have not impeded or had an adverse impact on the federal investigation."
