Sen. Raphael Warnock has been hit with allegations that he misused campaign funds to defend himself against a federal lawsuit stemming from his time as a pastor, according to a report out Wednesday.
Atlanta resident Melvin Robertson initially sued Warnock (D-Ga.) in 2019 over allegations dating back to 2005, when Warnock led the city’s Ebenezer Baptist Church. That suit was dismissed by a federal judge in Georgia without any of the defendants being served, Politico reported.
Robertson sued again in April 2021, making the same allegations against Warnock and naming the church and other public officials as defendants, the report said.
Warnock used his campaign lawyers from Elias Law Group to defend him in the case, along with Atlanta-based firm Krevolin & Horst.
According to the Federal Election Commission, campaign money can only be used on “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.”
Comment:
Warnock has proven to be corrupt.
Warnock should be under investigation, but Schumer protects him.
GA deserves a better Senator than Warnock.
Warnock is just another one of Schumer's yes-men.
He votes the way Schumer tells him to vote.
The GOP needs control of the Senate to be able to clean up Biden's mess.
The Democrats are turning our country into a banana republic with their incredible corruption and abuses of power.
