NEW ORLEANS — The judge overseeing Attorney General Liz Murrill's criminal case agreed to issue subpoenas to the special prosecutor and the New Orleans Parish District Attorney.

WWL reports the move is aimed at determining what led to Murrill's 16-count indictment earlier this month.

According to WWL, special prosecutor Laurie White and New Orleans Parish District Attorney Jason Williams will have to turn over emails, documents, text messages and other requested records.

Murrill is accused of sending threatening letters to New Orleans city leaders; her attorneys argue the case is politically motivated.
