Kane impeachment memo seeks support in Pennsylvania House
A Republican lawmaker wants a state House committee to investigate whether Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane should be removed from office.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - A Republican lawmaker wants a state House committee to investigate whether Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane should be removed from office
Rep. Garth Everett said about a dozen colleagues signed on Tuesday after he circulated a memo regarding a resolution to begin a Judiciary Committee investigation of Kane.
Everett says he thinks Kane, a Democrat who's been attorney general for three years, should be removed.
Kane's law license is under temporary, indefinite suspension as she fights criminal charges she leaked secret grand jury material to a newspaper and lied about it.
The state's impeachment process would begin with a vote in the House, followed by trial in the Senate.
A state Senate report due Wednesday will explore a different potential means of removing Kane.
