Georgia Ethics Chief to Subpoena Stacey Abrams' Gubernatorial Campaign
David Emadi, a former Douglas County prosecutor who started Monday as head of the ethics commission, announced plans to look into the Abrams campaign during a press conference on general agency business with reporters. He did not provide specifics on what kind of possible wrongdoing officials are looking into. "What I can say about the investigation into the Abrams campaign is, in the relatively near future, I expect we will be issuing subpoenas for bank and finance records of both Miss Abrams and various PACs and special-interest groups that were affiliated with her campaign," said Emadi. Lauren Groh-Wargo, who served as Abrams campaign manager, said of the imminent inquiry in a statement: "The Abrams campaign worked diligently to ensure compliance throughout the election and, had we been notified of any irregularities, would have immediately taken action to rectify them." Groh-Wargo continued: "The new ethics chief ― a Kemp donor and former Republican Party leader ― is using his power to threaten and lob baseless partisan accusations at the former Abrams campaign when they should be focused on real problems like the unethical ties between the governor’s office and voting machine lobbyists instead."
