FILE - In this April 30, 2014 file photo, State Rep. Gordon Fox, D-Providence, former Rhode Island house speaker, speaks across an aisle to lawmakers on the floor of the Statehouse in Providence, R.I. An analysis conducted Friday, May 16, 2014, by The Associated Press shows a number of expense checks unaccounted for in campaign finance reports filed by Fox, including 23 in 2013. The U.S. Attorney’s office has not said what it is investigating, or even who the office is targeting. The probe became public March 21 when authorities raided Fox’s home and Statehouse office. He resigned as speaker the next day. (AP Photo/Steven Senne, File)
