Pennsylvania Atty. Gen. Kathleen Kane was arraigned Saturday on criminal charges including perjury and contempt of court, as officials throughout the state stepped up calls for her resignation.
The charges stemmed from an investigation that accused the attorney general of orchestrating the illegal disclosure of information and then lying under oath to conceal her wrongdoing.
According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Kane offered one-word answers to the judge at the arraignment, and did not enter a plea during the proceedings. The newspaper also reported that Magisterial Judge Cathleen Kelly Rebar scheduled a preliminary hearing for Aug. 24 and set bail at $10,000 unsecured.
