Attorney Grievance Commission refusal to investigate bribery charge (MI)

Established Fact

A complaint was filed with the MI Attorney Grievance Commission against attorney and sitting MI SoS Jocelyn Benson related to assertions of bribery. In its January 28, 2025 response to the complaint, the AGC asserted that Plaintiff’s allegations—specifically, that a political action committee (PAC) donation from Benson to Justice Kyra Harris Bolden’s campaign was a bribe—are insufficient to warrant investigation absent concrete proof, justifying closure under MCR 9.112(C)(1)(a).
