JUNEAU, Alaska -- Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said Friday she wants some answers from U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens, a fellow Republican, who is under federal investigation.

...

As details of the investigation and Stevens' relationship with Allen continue to emerge, Palin said she wants Stevens to shed some light for the public.

"I can't guess what that information would be, but I think I join others in wanting to know of the senator's innocence," Palin said.

"Right now, we are not hearing anything," she said. "We are going to give him the benefit of the doubt because that's appropriate, and that's deserved."

Stevens' spokesman declined to comment Friday. Stevens has said he won't discuss the investigation for fear it will look as if he's trying to influence it.
