Georgia’s secretary of state has opened an investigation into “financial irregularities” surrounding the New Georgia Project, a voting-rights charity founded by Stacey Abrams, individuals familiar with the matter told the Washington Free Beacon.

The investigation comes after several Free Beacon reports on the alleged financial mismanagement by former New Georgia Project executives. Accounting and legal experts have raised questions about the legality of the New Georgia Project’s latest tax filings. As investigations get underway, authorities will issue subpoenas to parties affiliated with the New Georgia Project, a source with knowledge of the state’s actions said.

A spokesman for the Georgia secretary of state confirmed the investigation but declined to comment further. The New Georgia Project did not respond to a request for comment.
