Press Release: Call Logs Reveal Troubling Communications Between Late Attorney General and Convicted Lawmaker
Newly released call logs indicate that the late North Dakota Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem communicated multiple times with former Senator Ray Holmberg during an active investigation into Holmberg’s sexual crimes. Stenehjem, who passed away in January 2022, reported only one conversation to investigators, which Attorney General Drew Wrigley criticized as "inaccurate." Holmberg was recently sentenced to 10 years in federal prison for attempting to pay for sex with underage boys, a case that stemmed from a federal investigation initiated in 2021.
Notably, Stenehjem had previous knowledge of sexual assault allegations against Holmberg dating back to 2015, yet no charges were filed at that time. Call logs reveal multiple communications leading up to Stenehjem’s law enforcement interview, raising questions about his oversight in the case. Holmberg’s efforts to contact Stenehjem included attempts on the day of a search warrant execution, where he expressed being in "big trouble." Wrigley expressed outrage over Stenehjem’s failure to disclose these interactions, calling it incomprehensible for an attorney general to delete evidence from a criminal investigation. The situation highlights a disturbing pattern regarding how powerful individuals may evade scrutiny amid serious allegations.
