OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma Attorney General Mike Hunter on Wednesday announced his resignation, citing “certain personal matters that are becoming public.”

In a statement released by his office, Hunter said he plans to step down June 1. In the statement, Hunter expressed concern that his personal issues could overshadow the work of his office.

Although the statement did not describe the personal matter, Hunter filed for divorce from his wife on Friday.

Hunter was appointed to the post in 2017 by then-Gov. Mary Fallin after Scott Pruitt, who was attorney general at the time, was tapped to head the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

He is. Rules only apply to Conservatives.

That's what I'm thinking. If he was a (D) this issue would vault him into the lead for the next Governors race.

He is filing not his wife. 70% of divorces are filed by women.

Stitt’s track record does not give me any more confidence in him than I had in Fallon.

“The Oklahoman reported that it had submitted questions to the attorney general Tuesday evening about an alleged extramarital affair that it had confirmed through sources familiar with the matter. The sources said that the alleged affair was with a state employee who did not work in the attorney general’s office.”

“certain personal matters that are becoming public.”

My guess after reading ‘news’ stories of these resignations for personal reasons for the past 60+ years is; there is usually a girl friend, boy friend, a German sheperd involved.
