Lawsuit Adds Sordid Details to Alleged Bentley Affair
As families and friends gathered for Thanksgiving last week, political watchers in Alabama had a feast of their own to dig into — new details about the alleged affair between Governor Robert Bentley and his former top advisor Rebekah Mason. The information comes by way of a wrongful termination lawsuit filed by Wendell Ray Lewis. He’s the governor’s former security chief.
