The acting attorney general of Alaska has resigned amid allegations of sexual misconduct, less than six months after his predecessor stepped down following revelations that he had sent hundreds of text messages to a female state employee, officials said.
The acting attorney general, Ed Sniffen, “has removed himself for consideration as attorney general and will be leaving state service,” Gov. Mike Dunleavy of Alaska said in a statement on Friday, 11 days after Mr. Dunleavy said he had chosen Mr. Sniffen to serve as the permanent attorney general.
