HELENA – A recently created legal position within the Montana Legislature is being put to use for the first time to investigate allegations that Attorney General Austin Knudsen and other public officials abused their power to intervene on behalf of a patient at a Helena hospital. The Montana Legislature’s Republican leadership on Monday authorized a legislative special counsel to look into the incident reported at St. Peter’s Health which said they were threatened by three public officials, including Knudsen, over the care of a COVID-19 patient.
