CHARLESTON – A personal attorney for Gov. Jim Justice announced Tuesday that the governor and his family have been cleared of wrongdoing in a probe launched last year by the Department of Justice’s Public Integrity Unit.

“I’m pleased to announce that yesterday we were informed by career Justice Department prosecutors...that the investigation has concluded with no allegation of any wrongdoing whatsoever,” Terwilliger said.
