But after those investigators were dismissed and the probe resumed under a new team, the RICO case never materialized.
When Republican Schuette was running for governor against then-Democratic candidate Gretchen Whitmer in 2018, Nessel, a Democrat, the term-limited AG she was aiming to replace as"an opportunist who has used the crisis to further his political ambitions via a series of politically charged show trials" and vowed to revamp the investigation.
