PA Democratic AG Quits On Heels Of Perjury Conviction
Democrat convicted for conspiracy against her rival.
Quote:NORRISTOWN, Pa. — Kathleen G. Kane, the Pennsylvania attorney general whose aggressive investigation of her predecessor unleashed a chain of scandal that ended with her conviction this week on felony and conspiracy charges, said Tuesday that she is resigning.
“I have been honored to serve the people of Pennsylvania, and I wish them health and safety in all their days,” Ms. Kane said in a statement.
A spokesman for Ms. Kane said her resignation would be effective by the end of the day on Wednesday.
On Monday, a jury found Ms. Kane, 50, guilty of nine criminal charges, including perjury and criminal conspiracy, convicting her of leaking grand jury information and then lying about it in a bid to discredit a political rival.
News of her resignation was greeted with relief by the state’s top elected officials, many of whom had called for her to step down earlier in her protracted legal saga.
“What has transpired with Attorney General Kane is unfortunate,” Gov. Tom Wolf, a fellow Democrat, said in a statement released immediately after the resignation announcement. “Her decision to resign is the right one, and will allow the people of Pennsylvania to finally move on from this situation.”
