HARRISBURG, Pa., (Reuters) (Reuters) - A senior deputy of embattled Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane told a state Senate panel on Wednesday that the suspension of her law license could lead to mounting legal challenges to prosecutions by her office.
Kane had her license suspended by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court after being charged this summer with illegally leaking grand jury information to a reporter to embarrass a rival and lying about it to another grand jury.
Bruce Beemer, the first deputy attorney general, said he believed the office was operating legally even though the state constitution requires the attorney general to hold a law licenses.
