Meanwhile, FOX 2's Charlie LeDuff has been doing some digging into Mullin's past and discovered some problems that could come back to haunt her.
He's also learned that the feds have been investigating Robert Ficano, his friends and honeypot contracts in Wayne County for over two years.
"I'm not a fed," says LeDuff. "But my own look into the Mullin drama reveals a trail that leads from million-dollar mansions to the federal penitentiary and even all the way to the Middle East."
