Editorial New attorney general skirts public accountability Todd Rokita took over as Indiana's attorney general on Jan. 11, and it's been an intriguing first few weeks on the job for the state's top law enforcement official. The Republican former congressman and secretary of state has sparred with Twitter and repeated unfounded claims about election fraud. Two days after taking office, he announced he'd declined to join a bipartisan group of 50 attorneys general from states and territories on a letter condemning the Jan. 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol. Rokita most recently is raising eyebrows for his second job – a gig at an Indianapolis benefits firm that he says was approved by state ethics officials.
