The Philadelphia Inquirer is reporting that two of its reporters have been subpoenaed by a special prosecutor investigating Attorney General Kathleen Kane.

The prosecutor, conducting a grand jury investigation into whether Kane leaked secret grand jury information to a newspaper, is seeking to learn the reporters' sources for a story last week that said the grand jury recommended criminal charges be filed against Kane.

The two reporters, Craig R. McCoy and Angela Couloumbis, plan to invoke the state's Shield Law, which protects journalists from being compelled to identify confidential sources, according to the newspaper.

On Saturday Lanny Davis, one of the attorneys representing Kane, held a news conference in which he said Kane was being "railroaded" by unnamed Republican opponents. Davis also questioned why the leaks from the grand jury investigating Kane were not being investigated.
