MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico’s president condemned media reports that the U. S. government had launched a botched investigation into allegations that drug traffickers possibly contributed financially to the failure of his 2006 campaign. President Andrés Manuel López Obrador promptly interpreted the reports as a U. S. attack on his government and the Morena party in the run-up to Mexico’s June 2 presidential election. Reports describe testimony from traffickers that they passed around $2 million to López Obrador’s confidants in 2006, when he narrowly lost the presidential race. Evidence was discovered and the investigation was abandoned. But López Obrador warned on Wednesday that US agencies published the new circular of reports on the old accusations.
