By Kate Klonick - September 12, 2008, 3:40PM
The Alaska Senate Judiciary Committee voted today to grant the independent investigator Stephen Branchflower the subpoenas he requested to continue his investigation of Gov. Sarah Palin, including a subpoena for the testimony of the First Gentleman, Todd Palin.
Branchflower requested thirteen subpoenas, including a request for the testimony of the governor's husband because he is "such a central figure" to the Trooper-Gate controversy, he thought "one should be issued for him."
The committee debated for over two hours, with Sen. Bill Wielechowski (D) pushing to keep politics out of the investigation.
