The State Bar of Arizona has dismissed a charge against Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne stemming from a 14-month investigation by the FBI and county authorities into alleged campaign-finance violations.
The Bar, which licenses and regulates attorneys, attempted to determine whether Horne violated ethical rules.
Horne has been notified of the dismissal. Horne’s spokeswoman, Stephanie Grisham, said the attorney general “won’t have any comment” on the dismissal.
A separate Bar investigation into Horne’s involvement in a March 2012 hit-and-run accident is ongoing, said Rick DeBruhl, chief communications officer for the Bar.
