Michigan GOP demands state AG probe Whitmer's 'secret deal' with former top health official
Fox News
The Michigan Republican Party has called on the state’s attorney general to investigate a secret separation deal between Governor Gretchen Whitmer and her former state health department director
Gordon and Whitmer's office reportedly agreed to a $155,506 payout following Gordon's abrupt resignation in January, with the details of his departure remaining confidential. Republicans want Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel's office to "immediately open up an investigation" into the deal. They also called on the state legislature to "issue subpoenas and hold hearings to answer a very simple question — Why is Gov. Whitmer buying the silence of a former government employee, the state’s top public health official, in the middle of a global pandemic?"More Related News
