US EditionFriends With Benefits: Stacey Abrams Funneled $20 Million to Her Lawyer
- In the fall of 2022, a U.S. District Court dismissed Fair Fight Action's lawsuit against Georgia and ordered the organization to cover court costs exceeding $231,000.
- The lawsuit alleged racial voter discrimination but failed to provide evidence, while Fair Fight paid over $20 million to lawyer Allegra Lawrence-Hardy over five years.
- Lawrence-Hardy, a close friend of Stacey Abrams and former campaign chair, led the losing suit and billed Fair Fight more than $4 million annually, raising conflict-of-interest concerns.
- Paul Kamenar called the $20 million legal fees 'outrageous' and described Abrams' nonprofit dealings as a clear conflict of interest potentially violating IRS rules.
- Fair Fight's costly litigation contributed to debt exceeding $2.5 million and layoffs, while Abrams continues to weigh a third gubernatorial run amid ongoing financial scrutiny.
