Megan Varner: Celebs Rumors

Georgia Democratic gubernatorial nominee Stacey Abrams has spent over $1.2 million on private security since announcing her candidacy in December 2021 despite her ties to multiple abolitionist groups and opposition to the "privatization of justice." A Fox News Digital review found that the Abrams campaign doled out over $400,000 between July and August of this year alone for private security.  These payments follow an exclusive report from July that found the Abrams campaign paid out over $800,000 to Executive Protection Agencies, LLC, an Atlanta-based private security firm, between December 2021 and June of this year. The company’s website says the group provides executive protection that comes with a "keen eye with a thorough knowledge of the venue through threat assessment" for its clients.The website also says the company provides armed and unarmed security guards.  Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams speaks to supporters and members of the Rabun County Democrats July 28, 2022, in Clayton, Ga.  (Megan Varner/Getty Images) The campaign and the private security firm didn't immediately return requests for comment Sunday about which guards the Abrams campaign uses.

Georgia Republican U.S. Senate candidate Herschel Walker says that he is "not deterred" and is refusing to back down after allegations broke that he paid for a previous girlfriend's abortion in 2009.  Reports surfaced on Monday claiming that Walker, who is pro-life, paid $700 to an ex-girlfriend, who said that the money was used to get an abortion and showed the alleged $575 receipt that was from an abortion clinic. Fox News has not independently confirmed this reporting.
