Torricelli Probers Seize Dem Records in Jersey
By OWEN MORITZ

Federal prosecutors targeting Sen. Robert Torricelli (D-N.J.)
have seized records of the Morris County Democratic organization
in what
appears to be an expanding investigation, officials said
yesterday.
County party officials confirmed yesterday that hundreds of
internal
records from Torricelli's 1996 campaign were turned over to FBI
agents
this month. "We did what we had to and turned over originals,"
Alan
Zegas, the county organization's lawyer, said yesterday.
This comes on the heels of similar cooperation from the Bergen
County
Democratic organization, Torricelli's home party.
New Jersey's senior senator is already being probed by the U.S.
attorney's office for his connections to commodities broker David
Chang.
Chang pleaded guilty to illegally funneling money into
Torricelli's $12
million Senate campaign. Chang also reportedly has told
investigators
he lavished gifts of cash, jewelry and expensive Italian suits on
the
senator. Torricelli reported no such gifts on his disclosure
forms.
Prosecutors apparently have opened a new front in their probe,
trying to
determine whether Torricelli's campaign violated federal law by
funneling money into county organizations, which then paid some
of his
expenses.
Morris County Democratic chairman Paul Bangiola said yesterday he
has
"great faith in Torricelli's integrity."
Torricelli repeatedly has denied any illegal activities. The FBI
referred calls yesterday to the U.S. attorney's office in New
York,
which had no comment. The senator's office also had no comment.
