Alabama AG questioned about his gambling position

The Alabama Attorney General Troy King is currently under investigation by the federal authorities, including on his gambling position, according reports from the Heart of Dixie. The Alabama AG office is being investigated for his ties to various businessmen, as well as his stand on gambling in the state, although there is no official word on the Feds investigation. Citing sources, a number of local media outlets claim that King is also being investigated for his gambling stand, namely the electronic online bingo that is played at several places across the state, including the local race tracks. The AG has reportedly threatened to close some of the places offering electronic bingo, while allowing others to continue gambling operations. Troy King has not been charged with any crime at this time.
