Several current and former Office of Attorney General employees, testifying Wednesday at Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane’s criminal trial, recalled feelings of shock and anger when they read a June 2014 news article about an investigation of former NAACP leader J. Whyatt Mondesire. The witnesses generally agreed that the memo and transcript that formed the basis of the article, and which Kane is alleged to have leaked, were protected by grand jury secrecy laws.
David Peifer, a special agent in charge of the Bureau of Special Investigations, said he was upset to be linked to the information in the article because it was confidential information. Peifer had provided Kane with a transcript quoted in the 2014 Philadelphia Daily News article, the record of a conversation between Peifer and OAG agent Michael Miletto about the Mondesire investigation.
