ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Sept. 26 (UPI) -- Republican presidential candidate John McCain's campaign is attempting to block an inquiry into Alaskan Gov. Sarah Palin, lawmakers allege.
Lawyers for Alaskan Sen. Hollis French, D-Anchorage, and attorney Stephen Branchflower, the individuals behind the inquiry, allege in court filings that the Republican vice presidential candidate is being protected regarding the firing of her public safety commissioner, CNN reported Friday.
