Palin's husband testifies he never pressured official

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (CNN) -- The investigation into Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's dismissal of a state official moved forward on two fronts Wednesday.
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has denied any wrongdoing in the firing of her public safety commissioner.

Palin's husband, Todd, said in a sworn affidavit released Wednesday night that he never pressured the state's public safety commissioner to fire Palin's former brother-in-law, a state trooper who had divorced the governor's wife.

And Alaska's Supreme Court heard arguments Wednesday on an appeal by Gov. Palin's allies to block the Legislature's probe but did not immediately hand down a decision.

Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan was not fired this summer because he wouldn't dismiss the trooper, Todd Palin said in his written response to questions from the state Legislature's investigation into Monegan's firing.
