Friends With Benefits: Stacey Abrams Funneled $20 Million to Her Lawyer
- A nonprofit founded by Georgia politician Stacey Abrams paid over $20 million to her friend Allegra Lawrence-Hardy's law firm between 2017 and 2022.
- Fair Fight Action hired Lawrence-Hardy for a race-bias lawsuit against Georgia's governor following Abrams' 2018 and 2022 election losses, but the case was dismissed in September 2022.
- Lawrence-Hardy charged Fair Fight around $4 million each year and managed a sizable legal team, but the court concluded there was a lack of proof demonstrating that voter suppression had occurred, leading critics to dismiss the lawsuit as baseless.
- Ethics experts labeled the $20 million fee 'outrageous' and noted Abrams' involvement raised conflict-of-interest concerns, suggesting possible IRS violations for self-dealing and waste of nonprofit assets.
- Fair Fight's high legal costs contributed to over $2.5 million debt and staff layoffs, while investigations continue into related nonprofits amid questions about Abrams' finances and presidential ambitions.
