In this photo made Thursday, Jan. 9, 2014, Dallas District Attorney Craig Watkins answers a question during an interview in his office in Dallas. Watkins’ 2013 included an FBI investigation, allegations that he was prosecuting opponents for political gain and the threat at one point of jail time after being held in contempt of court. But despite court documents that detail FBI inquiries into the actions of Dallas County’s top prosecutor, Watkins denies any active investigation as he tries to focus on getting re-elected. Watkins is Texas’ first black district attorney and a nationally-known advocate for wrongful convictions.(AP Photo/LM Otero)
