Alaska governor Sarah Palin has testified for two hours in an abuse-of-power investigation that has been a distraction to her Republican vice presidential campaign.

John McCain's running mate Sarah Palin unlawfully abused her power as Alaska's governor by trying to have her former brother-in-law fired as a state trooper, US officials said.

John McCain’s running mate Sarah Palin remained in the dark while her husband repeatedly asked top state officials to help get his former brother-in-law kicked off the state police force, according to affidavits filed today.

John McCain’s running mate Sarah Palin said today that her 17-year-old unmarried daughter was five months pregnant.
