Legit claims or “stupid political stunt”? Pa. Dems want feds to investigate Oz’s disclosure report – By J.D. Prose (Pennlive) / Aug 3, 2022
The Pennsylvania Democratic Party is seeking a federal investigation into U.S. Senate Republican candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz for possibly breaking financial disclosure laws, but an Oz campaign official called the effort a “stupid political stunt.”
In a request for an investigation submitted to the U.S. Department of Justice, Corey Pellington, the executive director of the state Democratic party, accuses Oz of numerous violations, including failing to report possible income from the sale of two properties he jointly owned and not disclosing his ownership of a condo in New Jersey valued at more than $200,000.
However, the Oz campaign strongly denied any wrongdoing and refuted the allegations point-by-point, while drawing Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman, the state’s lieutenant governor, into the fray.
“Fetterman and his far-left cronies are pursuing this stupid political stunt because they do not want anyone to examine the truth about John Fetterman and his far left ideas,” Brittany Yanick, Oz’s spokesperson, told PennLive.
