Carter Statement on Court's Finding that State Hid Evidence

Press Release

Sen. Jason Carter issued the following statement after a Fulton County judge ruled that the state improperly concealed evidence that implicated Gov. Nathan Deal and his top staff in a major whistleblower case.

"I'm deeply troubled that the state's top lawyers and the top ethics official would improperly conceal evidence to shield Gov. Deal from accountability. We still don't know why these public officials worked so hard to keep Gov. Deal from testifying. And we certainly don't know what he would have said under oath.

"Georgia taxpayers are now on the hook for millions of dollars related to this case and Gov. Deal's cover-up, and we still don't have answers. Georgia deserves honest leaders and the kind of strong ethics reform that I've advocated for years."
