RPOF Threatens Crist with Suit

September 13th, 2010 by flanews

The Republican Party of Florida is taking another look at a spending scandal involving some of its former leaders. This time they’re going after Governor Charlie Crist.

Crist left the party in May to run for US Senate as an independent. Since he left the party, the man he picked to run the state GOP was indicted for funneling party donations to a consulting company he owned. Crist says he had no prior knowledge of the insider deal, but now the party is bring new accusations, saying Crist owes them for thousand of dollars in travel expenses. Crist says the party is just playing politics.

“They have their own nominee for the US Senate that is under federal investigation as reported by the media. I think they ought to get their own shop in order first before they go after an independent candidate,” said Crist.

Earlier this year the FBI began investigation Republican US Senate nominee Marco Rubio for using an RPOF credit card to pay for repairs to his mini-van, car rental charges and even a hair cut. Rubio says he paid the party back. No charges have been brought, but the FBI will neither confirm nor deny that the investigation is over.
