Alaska governer and Republican vice-presidential candidate, Sarah Palin, is being investigated after she fired her Public Safety Commisioner, Walt Monegan after he refused to fire an Alaskan state trooper who had divorced the Governors' sister.

Palin says that she has every intention of cooperating with the investigation.
