Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox denied he scuttled a 2003 joint investigation with state police of former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, including an alleged cover-up of the beating of a stripper at the mayor’s official residence.
In an exclusive interview published Sunday in the Detroit Free Press, Cox said he had no authority to stop the probe ordered by Gov. Jennifer Granholm and had conducted a swift but thorough investigation.
Cox, who is seeking the Republican nomination for governor, is scheduled to be deposed Dec. 11 in a lawsuit by the family of slain exotic dancer Tamara Greene.
Greene’s family is suing the city, ex-Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and other officials. Norman Yatooma, the family’s lawyer, claims they stifled a police investigation into her 2003 shooting death. The 27-year-old Greene is rumored to have danced at a never-proven wild party at the mayor’s official Manoogian Mansion residence a few months before she was killed.

Cox said no one has ever come forward with any credible evidence of a wild party at the Manoogian Mansion, the beating of a stripper or a link to Greene’s shooting.
