A series of explosive lawsuits filed by two Massachusetts State Police troopers alleging that higher-ups conspired to direct the whitewashing of a lurid arrest report featuring a prominent judge's daughter has now resulted in the retirement of the agency's second in command.
On Tuesday Lieutenant Colonel Francis Hughes submitted his retirement paperwork, days after Colonel Richard D. McKeon, the agency's top dog, did the same.
Republican U.S. Senate candidate John Kingston has joined the growing chorus of GOPers demanding Alabama's Roy Moore, whose own Senate campaign is under siege due to recently-surfaced reports alleging the Republican pursued teen-age girls when he was in his early 30s, withdraw from the race.
Kingston, who is mounting a 2018 challenge to U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren, announced Tuesday that he is "deeply troubled" by the allegations facing the former Alabama judge. Kingston released his statement a day after a fifth woman came forward to publicize her own experiences with Moore, claiming he assaulted her in a car when she was just 16 years old.
