A federal grand jury has subpoenaed records relating to former Tallahassee, Fla., Mayor Andrew Gillum’s (D) 2018 gubernatorial campaign, according to the Tampa Bay Times.

The subpoena demands documents and electronic data “or objects” going back to 2015 relating to Gillum, his political action committee Forward Florida and his 2018 campaign by May 7.

It also demands information on John H. Jackson, president and CEO of the Schott Foundation for Public Education, for which Gillum was listed as a board member until March 2017, and a related nonprofit, the Opportunity to Learn Action Fund, for which Gillum served as president as recently as 2017.

In addition, the subpoena asks for information on a donor to Gillum’s campaign, Donald Sussman, who contributed $1.5 million, and Gillum’s longtime friend and advisor Sharon Lettman-Hicks, the CEO of the National Black Justice Commission, a black LGBTQ advocacy group, according to the Times.

Gillum reported income of $71,000 from P&P Communications, Lettman-Hicks’s public relations firm, in 2017, and his 2018 campaign paid the firm nearly $45,000 in rent for office space.

“We ran an open and honest campaign. A campaign powered by thousands of volunteers and supporters. A campaign that captured imaginations and earned over four million votes,” Gillum, now a CNN contributor, told the Times in response to the report. “When you run a campaign that puts the power in the hands of the people, and fights for change, it inevitably invites close scrutiny, regardless of the facts.”

During his 2018 campaign, Gillum denied an FBI investigation into Tallahassee’s city government had anything to do with him, noting that of over 20 subpoenas issued before the election, “not one of them has anything to do with me.”

Gillum told the Times people associated with his campaign “stand ready to assist any future review of our work, because I am confident we always did the right thing and complied fully with the law.”

Gillum did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Hill.
