MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) – The Latest on the scandal involving Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley (all times local):
12:30 p.m.
The special counsel in an impeachment probe of Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley says he is moving forward with the release of an investigatory report.
Special Counsel Jack Sharman plans to release a 100-page report Friday afternoon that includes thousands of pages of exhibits. The report will be given to the House Judiciary Committee as the committee weighs whether to recommend impeaching Bentley.
The governor’s attorneys rushed to court to try to block the report hours ahead of its scheduled release. But Montgomery County Circuit Judge Roman Shaul said his inclination “at this point would not be to restrain this report.”
