Maine Janet Mills’ Democratic Governor was short of words last month during a trip to the national capital when he was in a hurry for his alleged consumption of cocaine.

“What is the F —?” Mulls replied when asked if “sniff cocaine at work” is a “human right”.

Mills refused to answer the question, which was followed by “how much does a cost of eight balls with inflation cost?” Mills ignored the second question and continued to walk.

A source shared the video with Fox News Digital after reporting on Friday revealed that the Ministry of Justice contradicted the old -decades’ old complaint that the investigation of his alleged cocaine consumption was politically motivated.

At the beginning of 1990, the USAO (USAO) prosecutor’s office in Maine, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the Maine’s Office of Intergovernmental Drug Enforcement (Bide) investigated Mills, then an in -office district prosecutor after a drug suspect accused him of using cocaine.

The investigation was finally abandoned without depositing charges. Mills argued that the investigation had never had a merit and that it was politically targeted for its democratic affiliation and its Bide criticism. In 1990, she and two other Maine district prosecutors criticized the belly for inflating the number of arrests thanks to an excessive application of low -level drug delinquents.

“It’s frightening,” Mills told the Portland Press Herald In November 1991. “Maine apparently had a secret police force who can ruin the reputation of anyone who opposed it.”

A memorandum of March 1995 of the Office of Professional Responsibilities of the United States Ministry of Justice (DOJ / OPR), sent to the General Sub -Crocureur – Merrick Garland was the main deputy deputy director – and discovered by Fox News Digital, refutes the complaint of Mills. He revealed that there was no fault of the federal or state authorities investigating his case.

According to the MEMO of the DoJ, WCSH-TV reported in December 1990 that Mills were the subject of a survey by a large federal jury for drug use, citing sources of application of the law. Mills then continued this journalist for defamation and slander. The report also prompted the Mill lawyer to demand an investigation by the Grand Jury, arguing that “the press has received leaks from managers of the application of the laws of the bidder”.

The results of the defamation and slander costume are no longer available. The case file has shown that the files had been eliminated in 2015 in accordance with the policy. However, a Article 1991 Lewiston Sun-Journal seems to indicate that the effort to “put an end to the rumors of drug probe” was expelled by a judge.

In January 1992, then-sen. Joe BidenD-Del., Intervened and asked the DoJ / OPR investigating the allegations according to which Usao of Maine had “refused to investigate the leak of the Grand Jury” and that the lawyers had engaged in “intimidation and coercion of witnesses” during the investigation.

These concerns were initially raised by Patrick Paradis and N. Paul Gauvreau, the chairs of the Chamber and the Senate of the Judicial Committee of the Legislative Assembly of Maine, in a letter sent at the time. George Mitchell, D-Maine. The letter suggests that the allegations involving the United States of Maine “go far beyond the involved state agency”.

In the end, no accusation was filed against Mills.

But the Ministry of Justice (DOJ) also found that all the claims of Mills were “not founded”, including allegations that it was politically targeted, that the investigators asked for false testimonies, that the witnesses were forced or threatened and that the agents of tenders have disclosed information on the Grand Jury to the press.

“USAO in Maine conducted an appropriate investigation into serious allegations; no fault of any kind, can be attributed to a member of this office,” concluded the DoJ / OPR in 1995.

While the DoJ has demystified the allegations of Mills, it rejected the allegations against it as a political motivation throughout the investigation.

According to the memo, Mills “announced publicly that it was the victim of a defamation campaign” in 1991.

“I would say that it is terribly coincident that this investigation began and was disclosed to the press shortly after my public comments on the lack of responsibility for Bide”, Mills said the same year.

Mills also said that he was establishing a “very bad precedent when a prosecutor had to look over his shoulder every time you put someone in prison and you ask if this person will find an audience in the street in the office of Bidé or at the bottom of the road in the office of the American prosecutor to say dirty things about you.”

Fox News Digital contacted the Mill office several times to comment on the memo but did not receive an answer.

Earlier this year, Mills accused the president Donald Trump to direct a “politically directed investigation” on Maine Department of Education.

During a meeting of the National Governors Association (NGA) at the White House in February, Mills and Trump were publicly competed in organic men playing in female sports.

Asset said the mills should comply with his executive decree preventing Transgender athletes From the competition in the sports of girls and women, or “you will not obtain any federal funding”, to which she replied: “We will see you in court”, which is exactly where the problem was linked.
