Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley is trying to focus on his political agenda as pressure mounts around him following his acknowledgment that he made improper remarks to a former female aide.
Rebekah Caldwell Mason announced Wednesday that she would stop serving as Bentley's senior political adviser.
The resignation capped an explosive eight days in state politics that rocked the administration of the conservative Republican governor.
Former Law Enforcement Secretary Spencer Collier — a day after being fired by Bentley — accused Bentley of having an affair with Mason and of interfering with a law enforcement investigation.
