Happening today lawmakers in harrisburg are taking a closer look at the scandal surrounding Kathleen Kane and if she can continue serving as Pennsylvania Attorney general. Monique braxton joins us live in morris in norristown. Bring us up to date. Reporter its a saga that no doubt has graped national headlines. Here attorney general Kathleen Kane was charged with perjury, her law license has been temporarily suspended and now a state Senate Committee wants her to appear for a full senate hearing. State senators could vote as early as today whether to start a process that could lead to the removal of the first woman and democrat attorney general. Ultimately, a twothirds Senate Majority vote would remove kane. For her part, kane has said the majority of her work is done is administrative and ministerial. She also says she anticipates being able to carry out 98 of her duties without the help of others. Since the temporary suspension of her law license, duties that require a license have been delegated to kanes deputies. Last month a Senate Committee examining her ability to stay in office with a suspended license questioned those top deputies. One Sticking Point senators say is what happens when a judge might dismiss a case on the grounds that the office of the attorney general lacks authority while kanes law license is suspended. The committee decided that scenario must be addressed by the pennsylvania Supreme Court. Kane released a statement criticizing the Senate Committee calling their actions unconstitutional. She also says she intends to vigorously defend the office of the attorney general. These actions, of course, follow the allegations and charges that she leaked grand jury information to a newspaper and then lied about it. In the meantime, kane says she is innocent. In norristown, Monique Braxton, nbc 10 news. Thank you. Yesterday a state board filed four ethic charges against a state Supreme Court justice.
