A special agent who was fired from the state Attorney General's office says he's appealing his termination to the state Personnel Board.
Attorney General Luther Strange accused Howard Sisson of helping former Deputy Attorney General Sonny Regan undermine an investigation into Republican House Speaker Mike Hubbard.
Strange says Sisson helped Regan secretly tape a conversation with the acting attorney general in charge of the case and later lied about losing the recorder. Strange accused Sisson of disclosing confidential information.
Sisson said he was asked by a chief investigator to help record the conversation and that he did so to bring attention to another investigator's conduct. Sisson accused the investigator of threatening and bullying him and says he was fired in retaliation for trying to report misconduct.
