Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner says a federal civil rights investigation of the Chicago police should be expanded to include the city's law department.
Rauner says Mayor Rahm Emanuel showed a "failure of leadership" when he told reporters that such a probe isn't necessary. Emanuel made the comments one day after a federal judge accused a city attorney of hiding evidence in a lawsuit over a deadly shooting by police.
The Republican governor says the position shows the Democratic mayor is "out of touch."
The Department of Justice announced its investigation of the Police Department last year, after the city under court order released squad-car footage of a white officer shooting a black teenager 16 times.
The mayor said Tuesday he has confidence in the head of the city's legal department. The office is examining all cases handled by the lawyer, who resigned Monday.
