Attorney General Kathleen Kane launches website to defend herself

Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane launched a website last week to defend herself against a grand jury's recommendation of charges in January..


Kane faces charges of perjury, official oppression, obstruction of justice, false swearing and contempt of court for allegedly leaking grand jury information. The Philadelphia Business Journal reported that truthaboutkathleenkane.com — which was created by her lawyer Lanny Davis — launched on Friday.

The website's home page answers a question posed in the recent New York Times article on the Kane investigation: "The question before Pennsylvanians is this: Is Kathleen G. Kane, the first woman to be elected as the state's attorney general, the victim of angry men who targeted her after she exposed their pornography habits?" The answer the website gives is a definitive "Yes."

Kane said in a comment about the website that the accusations are false and that she did nothing illegal.

"The purpose of the website is to challenge, finally, all of the smears, false accusations and illegal leaks from the grand jury process that has investigated me for eight months on the utterly baseless and false accusations that I illegally leaked grand jury information," Kane stated in a press release Friday.

Kane is set to argue her case in front of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court in March.
