Republicans say it’s about pursuing dark money while Democrats say it is just politics.

The Senate special investigation committee continues to investigate allegations of the misconduct of the district prosecutor of Fulton, Fani Willis.

Now the Senate is ready to expand the investigative powers of this committee so that it can also examine Abrams and its connections to the new Georgia project.

The Republican Senator Bill Cotwert from Athens said he only tried to follow the alleged dark money.

“Not to say that she did anything inappropriate at all. Only she was connected to these organizations and there the money was essentially decorated” Richard Elliot from Channel 2.

In January, the new project of the new Georgia admitted to 16 violations of the Georgia campaign finance laws, and the state ethics committee hit it with a fine of $ 300,000.

Abrams founded this group, but left it 12 years ago.

“That is what happens in the congress. The congress wastes a lot of time for investigations that do not end up with something productive,” said Senator Jason Esteves.

This demonstrated Democrats like Esteves that the committee carried out a politically motivated witch hunt.

“It is the policy of the election year. These are people who are preparing to run for the nationwide office next year, and you see this as a way to make headlines,” Esteves told Elliot.

Cowsert insists that it is not Abrams, but campaign money.

“Allegedly, the new Georgia project opened campaigns that used social media, used literature for Stacey Abrams and other candidates, and that is not permitted,” said Cowserert.
