ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) -
The FBI has subpoenaed documents from the board that oversees the D.C.
region's two major airports following an audit that questioned the
board's contracting policies.
A spokeswoman for the
Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority confirmed Friday that the
board has received subpoenas, but said it has not received any official
notice of an FBI investigation.
An FBI spokeswoman declined to confirm or deny whether an investigation is under way.
The
board has overhauled its ethics policies recently after facing scrutiny
for its management of the $5.6 billion project to extend the region's
Metrorail system to Dulles International Airport.
An interim
audit from the Department of Transportation's inspector general earlier
this year questioned the board's use of no-bid contracts.
The FBI subpoenas were first reported by the Washington Examiner.
