Bickers role in connection to the investigation became apparent when Mayor Kasim Reed released more than a million pages of documents that federal prosecutors had subpoenaed for their investigation. The city provided more than 200 boxes of Bickers-related documents in response to the federal subpoena. Among the documents was the August 2016 federal grand jury subpoena for Bickers’ records. However, federal prosecutors have declined to answer questions about their interest in Bickers.
