Governor Appears Before Grand Jury

Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley has testified before a grand jury, according to a person briefed on his appearance.  The revelation comes a day before legislators were to meet to push forward with efforts to impeach him over his relationship with a former aide.  Bentley appeared Wednesday.  Montgomery Circuit Judge Gene Reese on May 23 granted a request from the attorney general's office to convene a grand jury to investigate "certain matters."  The request was filed by the head of the division that investigates public corruption.  The grand jury was to be assembled July 11th.
