In State Ethics Probe, Stacey Abrams’ Former Campaign Withholds Emails, Hands Over Bank Documents

A lawyer for the 2018 gubernatorial campaign of Democrat Stacey Abrams informed the head of the Georgia Ethics Commission on Friday that the campaign would not fully respond to a subpoena sent in April.

The subpoena says the campaign may have accepted donations from organizations exceeding the maximum contribution for a statewide election contest.

The Abrams campaign sent more than 3,600 pages of financial records to state ethics officials. But it withheld nineteen emails, according to a letter attached to the campaign’s response to David Emadi, the executive secretary of the ethics commission hired in April.
