Former Hawai'i Public Utilities Commission Chair Leo Asuncion Jr. is another person targeted in the state investigation into bribery and campaign finance violations. The Attorney General’s Office has not specified who has received letters informing them they are the main subjects of the investigation. The other person to receive a target letter is businessman Tobi Solidum. The investigation focuses on $35,000 given to an influential state lawmaker in 2022 while Cullen was present and secretly recording. Last week, Luke announced she wouldn't seek reelection and received a target-letter from the AG, leading to her decision to take an unpaid leave.
