REVEALED: Stacey Abrams’ nonprofit paid her close friend and campaign director nearly $10m in legal fees to fight an unsuccessful voting rights case

Georgia Democratic gubernatorial hopeful Stacey Abrams’ voting rights nonprofit paid her close friend and campaign chair’s law firm nearly $10 million in legal fees to handle a largely unsuccessful voter suppression case in the state.

Politico did a deep-dive Monday reporting that Abrams’ campaign chair Allegra Lawrence-Hardy’s law firm made $9.4 million in 2019 and 2020 from the Democrat’s group Fair Fight Action, with dollar amounts not yet available for 2021 and 2022.

The report came on the heels of Fox News Channel finding that Fair Fight Action had paid thousands to the group’s director Andre Fields’ family and friends, who don’t appear to have political experience – with the organization now saying its launched an investigation.

After losing the gubernatorial race to 2018 to now Gov. Brian Kemp, Abrams is challenging him again, and so the group that heightened her national profile and brought in millions of dollars over voter suppression claims is under greater scrutiny.
