[quote]Lawmakers called for investigations, and prosecutors complained that neither they nor victims’ families had been consulted or notified. The Courier Journal, based in Louisville, ran a front-page article quoting a relative of a slain victim with the headline: “Matt Bevin can rot in hell.”

Among those seeking an investigation was a leader of Mr. Bevin’s own party, Robert Stivers, the Republican president of the State Senate. Late Friday, he asked the United States Attorney’s Office to look into the matter.

“From what we know of former Governor Bevin’s extreme pardons and commutations, the Senate Republican majority condemns his actions as a travesty and perversion of justice,” Mr. Stivers said in a statement. “Our citizens, and especially the crime victims and their families, deserve better.”
Drawing particular scrutiny was the pardon of Mr. Baker, who was convicted of shooting and killing a man during a home invasion in 2014; he was later sentenced to 19 years in prison. His family hosted a fund-raiser for Mr. Bevin that raised $21,500 last year, The Courier Journal reported.
