Federal prosecutors have subpoenaed records of telephone calls by Washington, D.C., Mayor Marion Barry as part of an investigation into whether he tried to halt a police drug probe, sources told the Associated Press. Barry will be asked to meet with investigators about the matter, possibly this week, the sources said. In a statement the mayor said, “we welcome this investigation. The District government will cooperate fully . . . and will comply with any subpoenas the grand jury may issue.”
