ATLANTA - The city has turned over a new batch of paperwork in the Atlanta City Hall Corruption Scandal.
More than 240,000 documents were handed over to to federal investigators, most of them pertaining to fired city procurement chief Adam Smith.
Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed has not said why he abruptly fired Smith last month after the FBI raided his office, or if Smith is connected to the ongoing bribery investigation, but the documents turned over on Tuesday indicate investigators are looking into potential conflicts of interest.
Federal prosecutors demanded all of Adam Smith's emails dating back to January 2014 as well as records regarding ethics training, outside employment, and potential conflicts of interest.
They are also going over Smith's computer and cell phone records.
Reed told 11Alive News on Tuesday that the feds got everything they asked for.
"We have fully cooperated we are entirely supportive of the Justice Department's investigation," Reed said. "We have provided almost 2 million documents and working with our federal partners almost every single day."

Smith was hired in 2003 by then-Mayor Shirley Franklin and was in charge of billions of dollars in city contracts.
He awarded several emergency no-bid contracts to bribery conspirators E.R. Mitchell and Charles Richards.
He also recommended a 3-year, multi-million dollar sidewalk construction contract awarded to Richards in 2009 be extended without competitive bidding more than 16 times, putting several million dollars in Atlanta taxpayer money in the pockets of a man who has now admitted bribing city officials for construction work.
The documents released to the Feds on Tuesday will be released to the media in about two weeks.
Adam Smith did not return phone call from 11Alive News requesting comment on Tuesday.
