Court rules Alabama impeachment can move forward
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — The Latest on impeachment proceedings against Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley (all times local):
3:20 p.m.
The Alabama Supreme Court says impeachment hearings can proceed against Gov. Robert Bentley, who is fighting to stay in office amid fallout from an affair with a top aide.
The justices issued their ruling Saturday. A circuit judge had blocked the hearings, which are scheduled to begin Monday.
Jack Sharman, the special counsel in the impeachment probe, says the House Judiciary Committee is free to proceed with the hearings.
