Rep. Scott Taylor Paid Thousands To Alleged Signature Forgers As Recently As September
Since news first broke in early August that some of Rep. Scott Taylors (R-VA) paid campaign staffers had allegedly forged signatures on official election filings, the congressman has promised to hold anyone involved accountable.
Filings from Taylors campaign Monday night, covering campaign expenses from July 1 through Sept. 30, show the opposite happened. Taylors campaign paid more than $40,000 to four of the staffers involved in the forgery allegations during that period, with payments continuing long after the staffers alleged involvement in the massive scheme was public knowledge and the subject of a lawsuit and special prosecutors investigation.
The payments for all four staffers occurred as recently as Sept. 12, weeks after the staffers alleged forgeries were known, after the Democratic Party of Virginia collected affidavits from dozens of voters who alleged that their signatures had been forged, and after a state judge said Taylors campaign had engaged in out and out fraud.
The filings also showed more than $11,000 in payments for legal services to several criminal and election law firms.
