Stacey Abrams campaign says Georgia ethics watchdog’s lawsuit is partisan
State ethics commission, led by vocal supporter and donor to Republican rival Brian Kemp, is demanding to see personal emails
The battle between Republicans and Democrats in the state of Georgia is still raging over a year after the historic midterm elections. The Republican-led state ethics commission filed a lawsuit against rising star and former Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams’s 2018 campaign insisting it had not received all relevant communications, in addition to bank records requested in April.
Abrams’s former campaign manager, Lauren Groh-Wargo, now the CEO of Abrams’s national campaign against voter suppression, Fair Fight Action, called the demand for the documents “bogus” and part of a “politically motivated investigation”, in a series of tweets.
