LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) – Attorneys say a nephew of Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson
plans to resign from the state senate to focus on defending himself from
corruption charges.Attorneys for Republican state Sen. Jeremy Hutchinson on Friday called the new accusations he had spent campaign funds on personal expenses, including a Caribbean cruise and tuition payments,
inaccurate. But they say he’s stepping down so that Capitol business can proceed
without “unnecessary distraction.”
