LINCOLN- A months-long review of a LPD investigation into an alleged break-in during a leadership transition at the Nebraska Republican Party ended with no charges. Special Prosecutor Ryan Swaroff said her review found that the events immediately after a July 2022 leadership transition at the state’s top political party showed a “turbulent leadership handover,” not a crime.

“This handover resulted in the report by the new leadership of an alleged trespass and alleged theft of Nebraska Republican Party property by the prior leadership,” Swaroff wrote. She said she reviewed the case, spoke with police and reviewed reports and emails from Tom Nesbitt, a private investigator the GOP hired after some items briefly went missing.

In a statement, she wrote that “charges cannot be filed in this case without stretching the limits of speculation as to intent and specific actions of those involved in this case.” Swaroff was the second special prosecutor to review the reports since February, when Lancaster County Attorney Pat Condon, a Republican, requested an outside review of the investigation.
