WaEx: Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) used campaign funds to battle a personal lawsuit, according to a new report.
The lawsuit began in 2019, when Atlanta resident Melvin Robertson made allegations against Warnock dating back to his time as a pastor in 2005, Politico reported. The suit was dismissed by a federal district court judge, but Robertson refiled a similar case in 2021, when Warnock was in the Senate. The Georgia Democrat used his campaign attorneys from Elias Law Group to defend against the suit, along with the Atlanta-based firm Krevolin & Horst, the report said.
The Federal Election Commission guidelines allow for “litigation expenses where the candidate/officeholder was the defendant and the litigation arose directly from campaign activity or the candidate’s status as a candidate.”
But the allegations made against Warnock were levied before he sought public office, seemingly rendering him unable to employ campaign funds.
The Warnock campaign insists that the use of funds was legal. more
no problem, anything bez ok ifuiza gro-biden dindu
A corrupt negro politician? Well, I never in a million years would have thought that.
Hey Anonymous at 6:33 PM. I understand “dindu” but what is “gro-biden”? Thanks.
I don’t care. His supporter who gave him the money damn sure don’t care. Houses, cars, hookers, blow, I DGAS what politicians do with money people are stupid enough to give them.
Perhaps the most shocking thing lately is, nobody has started burning their palaces yet.. Even we heavily armed Americans. I guess they will continue to do what they’re doing and imposing on us, unopposed until there’s nothing left.
Remember he is a reverend in MLK Jr’s old church…
I wonder why the court records are sealed on his divorce and there is a gag order about the case. I am not sure if the child support case has been sealed or not but he is supposed to be behind on his child support. Sounds like the good reverend needs to get his ducks in a row.
Now that dems are untouchable by the Justice system, they are really getting sloppy. The law firm should have represented him pro bono, and billed the campaign for “consulting services”.
Well, his attorney said it was perfectly legal, so I guess that settles it.
Hey Kool, 3 different avitars^^*
