Former Rep. Scott Taylor (R-VA02)’s #Petitiongate scandal has been out there for months now, with a special prosecutor looking into it. Now, finally, it looks like we’re seeing some movement, and it’s not looking good for the former Congressman.
A special prosecutor in Virginia says he’s presented two indictments of election fraud against a person who worked on a Republican congressman’s doomed re-election campaign.
Special prosecutor Donald Caldwell announced the indictment in a statement Monday. He did not identify the staffer who worked on Scott Taylor’s campaign in Virginia’s coastal 2nd Congressional District.
And gotta love this: “A meeting was held in then Congressman Scott Taylor’s office in Washington, DC… where a decision was reached to support Ms Brown’s effort by using available campaign resources to circulate petitions on her behalf.”
