Audio evidence presented in Attorney General Kathleen Kane’s perjury trial

Prosecutors at Attorney General Kathleen Kane's perjury trial played a recorded phone call from April 2014. In it, Josh Morrow, her political consultant, talks to a friend about the documents that he said Kane had asked him that day to leak to a reporter.

FBI agents were recording the call because they had placed a wiretap on the phone of the man Morrow was calling: John Lisko, then chief of staff to state Treasurer Rob McCord. McCord has since pleaded guilty to attempted extortion.

In the clip played at trial, Morrow describes Kane's request that he pick up the documents to leak, and seeks Lisko's advice.
