Alaska state legislators approved subpoenas for the husband of GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin and 12 others, as part of an ongoing investigation into whether Palin abused her power as state governor.

Todd Palin, husband of vice presidential candidate Gov. Sarah Palin, was one of 13 people that Alaska state legislators approved subpoenas for Friday as part of the ongoing “Troopergate” investigation.

In a nondescript conference room filled to capacity, a Republican-dominated panel of lawmakers voted to issue subpoenas to force testimony by Alaska “First Gentleman” Todd Palin and a dozen current and former state officials, including aides to Gov. Palin, to determine whether she had misused her authority in firing one of her commissioners in July.
