Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody on Wednesday requested an investigation into $16 million in donations to felon prisoners made by billionaire Michael Bloomberg.

In a letter to the special agent in charge of the FBI field office in Tampa and the commissioner of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, Moody said that a preliminary review of public information by her office suggests that a further inquiry is required.
