A top Democrat and key Clinton operative has been jailed for two years on multiple corruption charges.
Hillary Clinton's former staffer Kathleen Kane was the first female Democrat elected as Pennsylvania's Attorney General and won her 2012 election by a landslide following public endorsements from ex-President Bill Clinton.
According to Fox News, Judge Wendy Demchick-Alloy revoked Kane's bail saying that the time she could remain free on appeal has expired and ordered the former Democrat official to remand herself to jail.
The Montgomery County district attorney's office formally requested the order earlier Tuesday, arguing the Supreme Court decision was the end of the legal road for Kane.
"Two different appellate courts have reviewed her case, yet her judgment of sentence remains," District Attorney Kevin Steele said of Kane's appeals.
A former Hillary Clinton staffer, Kane was the first woman and first Democrat elected as Pennsylvania's AG but resigned from office immediately after her corruption conviction in 2016.
The lower appeals court also rejected Kane's argument that she should have been allowed to prevent all Montgomery County judges from handling her case, as well as her claims that evidence against her was illegally obtained and that she had been the victim of selective and vindictive prosecution.
