Former Macomb County Clerk Karen Spranger, who was removed from her position last week, is asking President Trump, the FBI and more to investigate her removal.
- Macomb County Clerk Karen Spranger removed from office
- Macomb County Deputy Clerk placed on administrative leave after Spranger removed
- Judge appoints temporary Macomb County clerk after Spranger removal
In a letter titled "Overthrow of a constitutional public office violation," Spranger requests "immediate investigation and injunction to stop the overthrow of a constitutional public office." It's addressed to Gov. Rick Snyder, President Trump, the FBI, U.S. attorneys and more.
Spranger goes into detail about her role as clerk in the letter, which includes a statement that says, "the next thing I know I have the Sheriff department raid and ram shack my department," and "my position has now been overthrown by several department heads in the county."
She was removed from office last Tuesday following a court order. A judge appointed Kathy Brower, a long-time county employee, as temporary clerk.
According to court documents, Spranger was removed from office because she was not a resident of Macomb County which would make her ineligible to run for or hold the position of Macomb County.
Spranger's attorney has issued the following statement:
Ms. Spranger has not had an opportunity to review the opinion and order. Once received she will review her options on appeal.

Spranger is also facing criminal investigations in connection to two separate incidents.
In the latest case, Spranger is accused of kicking a clerk Monday morning. The worker, a clerk in Spranger's office, reportedly says it happened after she was feeling harassed by Spranger and went to talk to her supervisor about it.
On the way out of the supervisor's office is when the clerk says Spranger tried to barge in by kicking her foot out to block the door and Spranger allegedly kicked her in the process.
