Bernard gave an interview earlier this month to the Indianapolis Star and mentioned the 10-year-old rape victim. After Mr. Biden's remarks, prominent Republicans accused her of fabricating the story, including Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita, who accused her being an"abortion activist acting as a doctor.
Rokita said he would investigate whether Bernard violated child abuse notification, abortion reporting laws or federal medical privacy laws for speaking to the newspaper about the case.

Bernard submitted her report about the girl's abortion on July 2, according to records obtained by CBS News.
