Stacey Abrams Subpoenaed in Investigation Into Alleged Campaign Finance Violations
The committee is probing alleged campaign finance violations and says the hearing will determine who was responsible and whether reforms are needed.
- On Monday, the Georgia Senate Special Committee on Investigations subpoenaed Stacey Abrams, Lauren Groh-Wargo, and Nsé Ufot to testify Friday, May 15 at 10 a.m. at the State Capitol regarding the now-dissolved New Georgia Project.
- The subpoenas follow State Ethics Commission findings that the New Georgia Project admitted to campaign finance violations during the 2018 election cycle, resulting in a record $300,000 fine before the group dissolved.
- Calling the hearing "performative," Abrams stated she would testify on a mutually agreeable date, decrying the subpoena as a "desperate distraction" meant to "intimidate and disarm voting rights advocates."
- Committee Chairman Bill Cowsert said the investigation aims to "determine who was responsible" for violations, while Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones asserted that "no one is above the law in Georgia."
- Sen. Greg Dolezal wrote on social media that "the era of untouchable political elites is over," signaling the committee's push for transparency and accountability in campaign finance disclosure.
