Kathleen Kane charged with perjury, obstruction, abuse of office
[PENNLIVE] Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane is being charged with perjury, obstructing administration of law and other charges that allege she orchestrated a campaign to leak secret information, then lied to a grand jury about it. Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Ferman said Kane is accused of a scheme in which "we allege she orchestrated to leak confidential investigative information and secret grand jury" information, then lied to a grand jury about that. Kane, a Democrat who swept into office in 2012 in a decisive victory, has been mired in skirmishes with former staffers and faced a grand jury investigation into leaks of sealed information from her office. Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman launched a review of the alleged grand jury leaks involving Kane since March, when the Supreme Court rejected Kane's challenge to how the original investigation was handled.
