Gov wants details on AG office porn-email case

HARRISBURG (AP) -- Gov. Tom Corbett wants information about inter-office emails containing pornography that were apparently exchanged between former employees of the Pennsylvania attorney general's office, including two men who are currently top aides to the governor.
The Thursday night letter from Corbett's top human resources officer was sent hours after Attorney General Kathleen Kane's office identified the eight ex-employees.
Corbett's office is seeking specific information about the email chain and whether the emails were opened.
Kane's office says it can't determine whether the men opened the emails they received. Her office says hundreds of pornographic emails were discovered during Kane's review of the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse prosecution.
Kane is a Democrat who took office last year. The men all worked under Corbett, a Republican, while he was the attorney general.
