In a letter sent Thursday to Pennsylvania House Speaker Mike Turzai and provided to CNN, Johnson-Harrell said she plans to resign from the body effective December 13 and defend herself against the accusations. "I've said time and time again as Attorney General that no one is above the law, no matter their position of power. Prosecutors laid out a litany of examples of how she did so, saying her scheme took place between 2015 and 2019. Less than two days later, prosecutors say she "spent $840.06 at a designer clothing website she frequented and bought an airline ticket for $292.40." At the time, Johnson-Harrell said the lawmaker, Rep. Stephanie Borowicz, should be censured for her prayer and called for inclusion among the members.
