Testimony is expected to continue today in Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane’s trial on charges she orchestrated a leak of grand jury secrets to discredit her rivals. Brennan invoked the state Shield Law, which protects reporters from revealing their sources, while he was on the witness stand.

Josh Morrow, right, a political consultant enters the courtroom, Thursday, Aug. 11, 2016 in Norristown, Pa. Morrow told jurors Thursday that he “conspired” with Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane to pin a grand jury leak on her top deputy.
Morrow, who worked on Kane’s 2012 campaign, testified he persisted with the lie through three grand jury appearances and a June meeting with Montgomery County detectives, telling the truth only when he met with prosecutors in July to prepare for trial.
Morrow says Kane was becoming “unhinged” over her feud with a rival prosecutor and leaked the material to embarrass him. “Kathleen and I came up with a story that she was going to testify to and I was going to testify to”.
Prosecutors are winding down their case, and it’s unclear if Kane’s five-person legal team will have her testify.
Kane, once a rising star in the state’s Democratic party, is set to leave office in January after a tumultuous first term that spawned her arrest, the loss of her law license and a statehouse impeachment effort.
