(INDIANAPOLIS) - Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb has been silent amid calls for Republican Attorney General Curtis Hill to resign after a lawmaker accused him of groping her in a bar.
Hill is an independently elected officeholder. But as governor, Holcomb is the de facto head of the state Republican Party and could ratchet up pressure on him to step down.
Yet since taking office, Holcomb has also proven reluctant to weigh in publicly on major issues that are unrelated to his core priorities.
A Holcomb spokeswoman said Thursday that the governor doesn't yet have anything to add.
A leaked legislative memo details accusations from the lawmaker and three legislative staffers who said Hill was drunk when he inappropriately touched them at a bar.
Hill denies the claims and says he won't resign.
