Does this story have legs and, if so, what the bleep is going on?:
Lt. Gov. Bethany Hall-Long, who is running for Delaware governor in 2024, announced Thursday evening that she is conducting an audit of her past campaign finance reports after possible issues have come to light.
Hall-Long said in a written statement this audit came after she “requested a review of my past campaign finance reports and learned there may have been reporting issues that require attention.”
She said she is working with “independent campaign finance experts and forensic accountants to thoroughly audit the finances.” She released a statement after “friends and constituents have asked about the status of my campaign.”
The candidate has canceled two fundraisers in recent weeks, according to emails obtained by Delaware Online/The News Journal. One of these was supposed to be hosted this month by Gov. John Carney, who quickly endorsed her when she announced her candidacy.
It’s not immediately clear if her campaign is suspended and if she is currently taking donations. She has not posted on her campaign Facebook page since Sept. 15.
Sounds serious to me. OK, spies, what’ve you got?
