Investigators believe the computers could contain evidence of tampering and information about whose computer ID was used to "facilitate the scanning and insertion of signatures, and/or the deletion of computer files," according to a search warrant affidavit.

"As part of a prearranged and cooperative effort, this morning the Senate Republican Caucus provided the Allegheny County district attorney's office certain requested computer data," Matthew H. Haverstick, an attorney with Philadelphia law firm Conrad O'Brien, said in a statement. "The caucus has been, and will continue to be, fully cooperative with the district attorney's office, but will not further discuss the nature of the information provided because the investigation is ongoing."

Last month, attorneys from the Senate Republican Caucus told Mr. Zappala's office that a half-dozen documents used as defense exhibits had gone missing from the Senate computer system. On Sept. 26, the affidavit said, the caucus "discovered additional evidence of file modifications within the Orie defense documents previously scanned into the Senate computer network by Orie staffers."

Key files disappeared from one computer backup to the next, the affidavit said. The caucus notified investigators Oct. 6 of additional file modifications it had discovered, including one made by someone using Ms. Orie's Senate login name.
