Overview
- The Senate Special Committee on Investigations, which issued subpoenas Monday, ordered Stacey Abrams, Lauren Groh-Wargo, and Nsé Ufot to testify Friday at 10 a.m. at the Georgia State Capitol.
- The move follows ethics findings that the New Georgia Project and its Action Fund failed to register as a campaign committee and did not disclose about $4.2 million in contributions and $3.2 million in spending, leading to 16 admitted violations and a $300,000 fine.
- Committee leaders say they will map who made decisions and how money moved through the groups, with more hearings and witnesses expected in the coming weeks.
- Abrams says she will appear on a mutually agreeable date and calls the hearing a partisan sham, noting she left the group before 2018 and disputes any link to the actions tied to the fine.
- The New Georgia Project dissolved in 2025 after legal and financial strain, and the GOP-led panel says its findings could inform changes to campaign finance enforcement.
