The committee is issuing subpoenas to Abrams and other project leaders to examine how money was handled during the 2018 election cycle and whether there was unlawful political activity, including possible coordination and decision-making issues.<\/p>\n<p>Officials say the Georgia State Ethics Commission previously found the New Georgia Project and its action fund violated Georgia campaign finance rules in 2018, leading to a $300,000 fine for 16 violations. Republican leaders behind the investigation argue the testimony and legislative inquiries are meant to ensure clarity, disclosure compliance, and accountability in Georgia elections.<\/p>\n<p>The New Georgia Project reportedly dissolved last year following federal scrutiny. The article also includes criticism from a U.S. House official alleging the organization failed to disclose more than $7 million in illegal contributions and expenditures related to supporting Abrams\u2019s 2018 gubernatorial run.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Stacey Abrams will be grilled on Friday about her role with a Georgia voter advocacy group that has been slapped for breaking the state\u2019s campaign rules.<\/p>\n<p>As noted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/atlanta\/news\/georgia-senate-subpoenas-stacey-abrams-over-campaign-finance-violations-tied-to-new-georgia-project\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CBS News<\/a>, the Georgia State Ethics Commission has already ruled that the New Georgia Project, an Abrams pet project, and its New Georgia Project Action Fund broke Georgia campaign laws in 2018.
