Pa. AG Kane files for divorce from husband of 14 years

    Pennsylvania’s Attorney General is seeking a divorce from her husband of 14 years.

    In a complaint filed Friday in Lackawanna County Family Court, Kathleen Kane says her marriage to Christopher J. Kane is irretrievably broken. They have two children.
