TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) — The Florida Commission on Ethics found probable cause that former mayor Andrew Gillum violated state ethics laws.
The findings came on Friday morning following a probable cause hearing. That hearing was closed to the public, however Gillum’s attorney, Barry Richard, and the complainant, Erwin Jackson, confirmed the information. Both said the commission found probable cause on five allegations.
“Hopefully the word is getting out that we expect our elected officials to act ethically and honestly,” said Jackson, who filed the complaint in 2017.
Jackson accused Gillum of accepting gifts from a city lobbyist after WCTV broke a story showing Gillum on a boat trip in New York City with former lobbyist Adam Corey and an alleged undercover FBI agent who was investigating political corruption in Tallahassee.
According to Richard, the findings surround three issues, including the New York City Boat trip, a ticket to see the Broadway show Hamilton and a room in Costa Rica. All of which were alleged gifts from Corey, are believed to be over $100 and Gillum did not report. However, Richard said the commission found no probable cause that Gillum solicited the gifts or that they had direct impacts on any city vote. more here
