Alaska’s Attorney General Resigns

Alaska Attorney General Kevin Clarkson (R) resigned after reports he sent “uncomfortable” texts to a female colleague, the Anchorage Daily News reports.

“Over a 27-day span, the attorney general asked the woman to come to his house at least 18 times, often punctuating the messages with kiss emoji and comments about the much-younger woman’s beauty.”

“The attorney general texted the woman at all hours of the day and evening, sometimes from his state office, until she sent him a message in early April asking him to respect professional boundaries and saying she doesn’t accept late-night calls on her personal phone.”
