Sarah Palin to return $386K from defense fund ruled illegal

07:28 PM

Sarah Palin will return more than $386,000 collected by a legal defense fund that has been ruled illegal. The former Alaska governor established the fund before she resigned last summer.

An investigator for the Alaska Personnel Board determined that the fund was illegal because the word "official" on its website wrongly implied that it had Palin's backing as the governor. The settlement was signed Monday and announced this afternoon.
