Attorney Jerome Barney tells the newspaper that his client is not a target of the investigation.
Ayanna Kilpatrick did not speak with reporters.
Kwame Kilpatrick also has been indicted on federal fraud and tax charges connected to a civic fund bearing his name. His sister had spent time on the civic fund's board.
