Documents confirming possible criminal charges against Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane have just been released.

Those documents confirm what we reported earlier: that a grand jury recommends charging Kane with perjury and other charges.

The documents confirm that a special grand jury is recommending four criminal charges against the attorney general.

A special prosecutor in Montgomery County, near Philadelphia, is investigating whether Kane broke the law by allegedly leaking confidential information about 2009 grand jury proceedings to a newspaper reporter.

The documents were released Wednesday after a ruling Tuesday by the state supreme court.

According to the documents, the grand jury found, "reasonable grounds" that violations of criminal laws have occurred because of the leak.

We also know that the grand jury recommended four charges: perjury, obstruction of justice, false swearing, and official oppression.

Kane's lawyer Lanny Davis issued a statement accusing the special prosecutor of a, "desperate effort to camouflage his failure by making false and absurd charges of perjury and obstruction."

The decision on whether to prosecute Kane will be up to the Montgomery County district attorney.
