Pro golfer Phil Mickelson said he’s cooperating with the FBI in an investigation involving allegations of insider trading.
The USA Today reports that investigators are trying to determine whether Mickelson and Las Vegas gambler William “Billy” Walters illegally traded on public information from billionaire investor Car Icahn.
Mickelson said he’s cooperating.
“And I’m happy to do so in the future, too, until this gets resolved,” he said in the clubhouse at Muirfield Village.
In a statement released Saturday, Mickelson said: “I have done absolutely nothing wrong. I have cooperated with the government in this investigation and will continue to do so. I wish I could fully discuss this matter, but under the current circumstances it’s just not possible.”
