Georgia Ethics Commission is still investigating 2018 ties between Stacey Abrams and voter group
The New Georgia Project paid a record $300,000 fine after admitting illegal fundraising; investigation into possible coordination with Stacey Abrams' 2018 campaign continues.
- On Thursday, David Emadi said the Georgia Ethics Commission is still investigating whether the New Georgia Project coordinated election work with Stacey Abrams' 2018 campaign.
- The New Georgia Project admitted illegal activity, paid a $300,000 fine and was required under Georgia state law on independent campaign committees to disclose donors and spending.
- Evidence disclosed so far shows Ethics Commission disclosures include thin evidence of contacts with Abrams, while Republican state senators voted in March to form an investigatory committee chaired by Bill Cowsert to probe $2 billion claims.
- Some board members of the Georgia Ethics Commission urged fines or prison for violations, Bill Cowsert wants personal accountability, and David Emadi suggested earlier oath powers and codifying rules for lawmakers.
- With that timeline, Abrams and the New Georgia Project deny coordination and she says Republicans are targeting her, about 10 months after the group admitted illegal activity.
