FILE - In this Sept. 2, 2015 file photo, Virginia Attorney Gen. Mark Herring announces that he will seek re-election to his current post in 2017, in Richmond, Va. The U.S. Department of Justice gave instructions on how to work around its own strict rules for spending money seized in investigations to Virginia's top prosecutor, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press, Wednesday, Jan 18, 2017. Law enforcement agencies participating in investigations with federal counterparts can share proceeds of seized assets under Equitable Sharing programs run by the Justice and Treasury departments. Both agencies have clear rules that generally prohibit the use of such money for salaries and pay raises.(Joe MahoneyThe Richmond Times-Dispatchbvia)
