HARRISBURG — Pennsylvania’s embattled attorney general, Kathleen Kane, intends to run for a second term despite facing criminal charges and lacking a law license, but she has not made a final decision, according to a political adviser who has discussed plans with her.

Consultant Ken Smukler told The Associated Press on Friday that Kane does not believe the state Supreme Court’s decision to suspend her law license prevents her from running.

“If the question is, does she want to run for re-election, the answer is yes,” said Smukler, who has advised Kane on an unpaid basis since August. “If the question is, does she intend to run right now, I think it is her intention to run and seek re-election. But every day changes in Kathleen Kane’s world.”

The first-term Democrat awaits trial in the Philadelphia suburbs on charges that she illegally leaked secret grand jury material and lied under oath. Her law license has been under temporary, indefinite suspension since October, and it’s unclear when it might be restored.
