The long-running inquiry into the firing of multiple U.S. Attorneys during the Bush administration has ended with no criminal charges being filed.
Nora Dannehy, a well-known federal prosecutor in Connecticut, handled the inquiry on a high-profile issue that generated national headlines at the time. The decision became public through a letter that was sent to the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.
The Los Angeles Times said the episode became "one of the most searing political controversies in the Bush administration.''
