Treasurer A James Manchin indicated he will announce on Tuesday whether he will stay in office during his Senate impeachment trial over 17 charges. His attorney failed to file pretrial motions by the deadline, prompting Chief Justice W T Brotherton Jr to remark on the situation. Manchin, facing possible loss of a $2000 monthly pension if convicted, said he remains combative but has begun discussions with his nephew and son who are state senators. A decision is expected June 20 as he weighs retirement versus continuing to fight the charges related to losses in the consolidated investment fund.
