Records also suggest prosecutors are looking into Central Florida's SD9 race. Examples: Investigators pulled records for a political committee that paid for ads supporting a mystery candidate in that race and interviewed the committee's chairperson.

As @MiamiHerald first reported, prosecutors have also subpoenaed documents from Data Targeting Inc. — a political consulting firm that runs campaigns for Senate Republican leadership. This is reaching the highest echelons of Florida Republican politics.

@MiamiHerald And! Miami prosecutors confirmed they have spoken about the case with federal investigators in Washington. Florida Democrats have asked the feds to investigate the "ghost" candidate controversy. It's still unclear if they are.
