MOBILE | Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley testily declined to answer questions about a scandal involving a former top aide and some lawmakers' push to impeach him.
Multiple media outlets reported that Bentley, during a Friday stop in Mobile, says he would only answer questions about an economic development bill he was there to sign.
News video from WKRG shows Bentley twice responding, “Did you hear what I just said?” when reporters asked about the scandal and impeachment push.
Bentley has admitted to making inappropriate remarks to former staffer Rebekah Mason but denied accusations of a physical affair. The governor said he had already made a statement as he declined to answer a reporter's question.
The governor later said the scandal was having no impact on industrial recruitment.
