BISMARCK, N.D. (KFGO) – The North Dakota Attorney General’s office released 2,000 emails from late Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem’s personal phone that were thought to be lost forever.
The emails came from Stenehjem’s state-run email account.
Now, Attorney General Drew Wrigley says investigators are going through more emails found on a private email account on Stenehjem’s phone.
“There do appear to be thousands of additional emails that our experts have located on [Stenehjem’s] private phone, and we’re in the process of going through those,” Wrigley says. “The others will come in a wave because we’re treating those as an open records request and ongoing manner.”
The state investigation revolves around remodel cost overruns on a building owned by state lawmaker Jason Dockter.
The federal investigation involves Stenehjem’s friend and former North Dakota Senate majority leader Ray Holmberg who is charged with traveling overseas to have sex with underage boys.
Holmberg’s trial is set to begin in September.
