BRIDGEPORT, Conn. — The city of Bridgeport has spent more than $500,000 responding to another federal criminal investigation into City Hall including hiring private lawyers for officials including Mayor Joe Ganim. 

That's according to a report by the Connecticut Post. The full scope of the investigation has not been made public.

City officials, federal prosecutors and the FBI have declined to comment about the months-long probe. 

Ganim was released from prison a decade ago after serving nearly seven years in prison for corruption during his first tenure as mayor that ended with his resignation in 2003.
