Impeachment hearings for former Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane continued well past her resignation from office three months ago, but attorneys say they still provided value as a new administration prepares to enter and repair the Office of Attorney General.
State Rep. Todd Stephens, R-Montgomery, said the House Judiciary Committee’s subcommittee on courts, which he chairs, was not pursuing impeachment beyond Kane’s resignation, which took effect Aug. 17. But the investigation was just about complete before her criminal trial, Stephens said, and was delayed for both the trial and the Nov. 8 election, when Pennsylvania chose Democrat Josh Shapiro as its next attorney general. The committee held one final day of hearings Nov. 14 to hear some final testimony, wrap up the proceedings and offer findings.
