Georgia Launches Investigation Into Sen. Raphael Warnock's Church

While the left continues to rant and rave over reports that Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker (a Republican) once paid for an old girlfriend to have an abortion, the leftist media has remained decidedly mum over the news that state officials are investigating a charity affiliated with his Democrat opponent, Sen. Raphael Warnock, for some pretty sketchy business dealings.
The Washington Free Beacon reported Friday that the Georgia Secretary of State Office's Securities and Charities Division has sent a letter to the Ebenezer Building Foundation, a charity owned and operated by Warnock’s Ebenezer Baptist Church, asking why the foundation is running an apartment complex without a proper active registration. The Free Beacon notes the charity also strokes Warnock a monthly check for $7,417 in “housing allowance,” despite the fact that the good reverend is already paid a salary and a tax-free housing stipend through the church - on top of his Senate salary, of course.
According to the foundation's 990 tax forms, Warnock is listed as the principal officer, with Ebenezer Baptist Church ID'd as the managing entity.
But it turns out that "charity" might not actually be a charity at all - at least, not legally. While the foundation's federal 990 forms claim that it's registered as a charity in the state of Georgia, state officials reportedly said that's not true.
The letter sent to the Ebenezer Building Foundation alleges that “The Division's records indicate that Ebenezer Building Foundation…is not registered as a charitable organization with the State of Georgia." State authorities have given the EBF until November 2 to explain "why it is exempt from registering with state authorities and is therefore not in violation of the Act and Rules."
Warnock’s a crook.
Either way, the person who wins the Georgia Senate election in 022 ain't gunna be no Saint.
