HARRISBURG-- Rep. Martina White (R-Philadelphia) today urged the House to form a bipartisan subcommittee of the Judiciary Committee to investigate the conduct of Attorney General Kathleen Kane and whether it rises to the level of impeachment.
“With the attorney general refusing to step down following the revocation of her law license, we must begin the process of impeachment,” said White, a member of the Judiciary Committee.
White has endorsed a resolution circulating in the House to allow the subcommittee to conduct an investigation of Kane’s conduct in office and decide if there are grounds to begin the impeachment process.
Kane’s law license has been suspended, and she is facing criminal charges related to an alleged leak of secret grand jury documents.
A Senate panel is weighing whether Kane can fulfill her duties without that license and should be removed from office. Kane has argued that the Senate doesn’t have the constitutional authority to remove her.
“The only sure way to properly remove someone like Kane who has brought such disgrace to her office is impeachment,” White said. “So I urge my colleagues to move forward and bring respect and dignity back to the attorney general’s office.”
