Obama campaign gets involved in trooper controversy

CNN reports:

The Alaska state trooper at the center of a probe into whether Gov. Sarah Palin abused her power says he has “made mistakes, and I’ve learned from those mistakes.” But in an exclusive interview with us, Mike Wooten, Palin’s former brother-in-law, also denies some of the biggest allegations against him.

Wooten says he has been offered $30,000 to tell his story to a tabloid. The Obama campaign has reached out to the head of his union.

(Emphasis mine.)  I’m surprised.  The media has shown no lack of enthusiasm on their own, and I would think Obama would rather keep his hands clean.
