Lock Down: Palin Aides Now Claim Trooper Probe Is "Confidential"
Palin aides say trooper probe now ‘confidential’
Posted: 10:33 PM ET
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (CNN) — Republican campaign officials indicated they are done answering questions about an investigation into Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s firing of her public safety commissioner Tuesday, citing a request by a state investigator.
“He has asked to keep things confidential, so we will respect those wishes,” campaign spokeswoman Meg Stapleton told reporters.
Palin has dropped an earlier pledge to cooperate with a probe by the state Legislature, with aides arguing it has been “tainted” by partisan politics since she became Sen. John McCain’s running mate. But Stapleton said Palin’s lawyers have agreed to “general parameters of immediate cooperation” with the investigation she requested from the state Personnel Board, which has hired Anchorage lawyer Timothy Petumenos to conduct the inquiry.
