COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - It's now up to South Carolina's highest court to decide if lawmakers can get information on an ethics probe of Governor Mark Sanford.
The State of Columbia reports Tuesday Sanford has submitted his final brief to the state Supreme Court.
Sanford asked the justices to decide if the Ethics Commission can release its investigation into his travels to state lawmakers mulling impeachment.
Sanford waived confidentiality. But his attorneys say he was revealing that he's being investigated, not letting lawmakers see the report.
Sanford's travel has been under scrutiny since he skipped the state in June to rendezvous with his Argentine lover. Associated Press investigations have shown he used state planes for personal purposes and traveled in first class seats despite low-cost travel rules.
