Alabama Governor Robert Bentley resigned Monday as he faced the first day of impeachment hearings over accusations he was having an affair with his senior political adviser and then used public money and resources to try to cover up the relationship. Bentley will be succeeded by Lt. Gov. Kay Ivey—the second female governor in Alabama’s history. Meanwhile, Seattle Mayor Ed Murray is facing multiple accusations he molested and had sex with underage boys in the 1980s.
