An ethics watchdog is calling for an investigation into Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) after he failed to disclose free housing he has allegedly been provided in Georgia.
The Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust, which is right-leaning, submitted a letter to the Senate Ethics Committee urging the panel to open an investigation into whether Warnock violated federal law and Senate ethics rules when he failed to disclose that he has been living in a home owned by Ebenezer Baptist Church, where he still serves as a part-time senior pastor.
The Washington Free Beacon reported that Warnock moved into the home in 2023 and lives there rent-free. The complaint details the October 2022 purchase by the church for $989,000. It was marketed as an upscale retreat, boasting features such as a 100-bottle wine cooler, a Bluetooth-integrated stainless steel stove, custom crown molding, and a walk-in closet connected to a European-style bathroom equipped with a remote-operated privacy curtain.
Not long after the purchase, Warnock began living in the home. Around the same time, he sold his former Georgia residence and bought a new home in Washington, D.C.
“There are tax laws and ethics rules which allow for a Senator to accept reasonable lodging or housing but they are only applicable in a narrow set of circumstances — they are not an open-ended loophole that can be abused,” FACT Executive Director Kendra Arnold said in a press release on Monday.

Comment:
Warnock says that the senate has already approved his free housing
But this sounds fishy.
They should investigate his claim.

He doesn’t own it, the church does

You are the same guys who laughed off Clarence Thomas accepting hundreds of thousands in gifts from his “friends”

Why sure...How can you expect him to fulfill the requirements of his job, working for all of GA, without a million dollar mansion, with all the perks? Con men have standards after all.....

 

[1srelluc]

No surprise to me....Most black dem politicians are corrupt.

 

[rightwinger]

Right?

Warnock is a pastor in that church

Thomas was accepting hundreds of thousands in undeclared gifts

How about Blago? or Dan Rostenkowski? or this Ohio guy <g>

...or this NJ gold bar guy and his wife?

...I could keep going, there are a lot of Bidens, Clintons, etc.

 

[kyzr]

Thomas should announce his retirement so Trump can start working on the next nominee.

I hope that Trump gets about three more USSC judges

Doesn't matter, it's still a gift. A million dollar residence that he is getting for free, and he didn't report it.

What's good for the goose.......

 

[bendog]

This was news in 2022

Parsonage Allowances Are Terrible. But That Doesn’t Make Raphael Warnock a Tax Dodger.

A GOP attack so cynical it could only come from a truly desperate place.

he doesn't have to report it because under IRS laws and regulations, a parsonage allowance is NOT INCOME. Dates back to the 1950s

The gop could always raise taxes on religious leaders. And imo they should but they won't.
