A 29-page report was released by Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, which discusses her findings regarding the criminal investigation that was unlawfully conducted on the COVID-19 contact tracing contact.
The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) conducted the investigation, which was requested by Sen. Jim Runestad, according to a press release from the attorney general's website. During the investigation, 17 people were interviewed as well as many documents being procured.
“I appreciate the concern raised by Sen. Runestad but I also appreciate the reality under which this contract was pursued,” Nessel said in her press release. “With the benefit of hindsight, there may have been a better way to accomplish the department’s ultimate purpose but we found no evidence of criminality. Instead, it appears the imperfect process used here was mainly a result of the department’s attempt to get a contact-tracing program underway as quickly as possible in light of the dire public health crisis.”
