GOVERNOR ROBERT BENTLEY

RELEASES THE LIST OF PEOPLE

WHO TRAVELED WITH HIM TO THE

PRESIDENTIAL INAUGURATION.

ON THAT LIST, THE FORMER

STAFFER HE WAS ACCUSED OF

HAVING AN AFFAIR WITH BEFORE

HIS DIVORCE.

THE GOVERNOR'S COMMENTS CAME

OUT DURING HIS VISIT TO THE

WYNFREY HOTEL FOR THE PUBLIC

AFFAIRS RESEARCH COUNCIL OF

ALABAMA CONFERENCE.

THE NATURE OF THE RELATIONSHIP

BETWEEN BENTLEY AND MASON IS

THE SUBJECT OF TWO CIVIL

LAWSUITS AND A FEDERAL AND

STATE INVESTIGATION.

CBS 42 NEWS REPORTER JAMIE

OSTROFF SPOKE WITH POLITICAL

ANALYST STEVE FLOWERS ABOUT

HOW THIS COULD IMPACT THE

POLITICS THAT AFFECT YOU.

FLOWERS POINTED OUT THAT IN

THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS - WE'

)LL SEE THE START OF A NEW

LEGISLATIVE SESSION HERE IN

ALABAMA.

AND IN WASHINGTON - WE'LL

LIKELY SEE OUR SENATOR JEFF

SESSIONS GET CONFIRMED AS THE

U-S ATTORNEY GENERAL.

FLOWERS SAYS TODAY'S

REVELATION COULD PLAY INTO

THIS.

<JON MASON TRAVELED TO

WASHINGTON WITH HIS WIFE

REBEKAH.

HE WAS THERE AS A MEMBER OF

GOVERNOR ROBERT BENTLEY'S

ADMINISTRATION."take your earring of and let

me kiss your ear."

REBEKAH MASON WAS ALLEGEDLY ON

THE RECEVING END OF THIS PHONE

CALL WITH GOVERNOR BENTLEY.

SHE STEPPED DOWN LAST YEAR

AFTER BENTLEY ADMITTED TO

MAKING INAPPROPRIATE REMARKS

TO HER - BUT BOTH DENIED

HAVING A PHYSICAL AFFAIR.

STILL - MANY QUESTION WHETHER

MASON HAD UNDUE INFLUENCE ON

THE GOVERNOR - AND WHETHER THE

GOVERNOR USED STATE RESOURCES

TO HIDE A RELATIONSHIP WITH

HER.

POLITICAL ANALYST STEVE

FLOWERS SAYS THOSE QUESTIONS

HAVE NOT GONE AWAY.

"who knows what their personal

relationship is. i just think

that he'd given the

indication about a year ago

that she was no longer on the

picture."

FLOWERS SAYS THIS COULD BE A

HIT TO BENTLEY'S INTEGRITY -

AS HE'S ABOUT TO PRESIDE

OVER A LEGISLATIVE SESSION -

THAT'S EXPECTED TO INCLUDE

AN 800-MILLION DOLLAR PRISON

BILL.

"you kind of wonder about his

integrity, going forward with

his last year and a half in

office and his effectiveness

with the legislature."

THEN THERE'S THE MATTER OF

REPLACING SENATOR JEFF

SESSIONS - AS HE'S EXPECTED

TO BE CONFIRMED AS U-S

ATTORNEY GENERAL.

"the house judiciary of the

state legislature was

investigating bentley into --

to see if they were gonna try

to impeach him, based on this

relationship with ms mason.

and luther strange went to the

house judiciary comttee and

said 'no the ag's office

is investigating this. yall

need to back off.' if the

next 3 months later, bentley

appoints luther strange to an

open senate seat, that looks a

little bit clandestine"

BENTLEY DID SAY TODAY THAT HE

HAD A "SPECIAL GUEST" WITH HIM

AT THE INAUGURATION.

HE WOULDN'T GIVE THAT

I ASKED HIS OFFICE FOR THE

TRAVEL LIST - BUT NEVER GOT A

RESPONSE.
