Gillum visits Sanford; new documents show undercover agent may have paid for campaign dinner

Seminole County, Fla — Democratic gubernatorial nominee Andrew Gillum spoke a the Allen Chapel Church Friday night, in the  historic Goldsboro neighborhood of Sanford.

Earlier , newly released documents showed the same undercover FBI agent that allegedly supplied Broadway show tickets to Gillum,may have paid for a fundraising dinner in 2016.

The information has come to light as part of an ongoing ethics investigation that has shadowed the Tallahassee mayor since he beat out other Democrats in the August primary.

The documents, show that lobbyist Adam Corey, a former friend of Gillum's sent an invoice for $4,386 to the agent, posing as a developer named Mike Miller. The bill was for an April 2016 reception on behalf of Gillum's committee that featured filet mignon, salmon and an open bar.

The information was released by Christopher Kise, a lawyer representing Corey, in response to a document request earlier this week from the state's ethics commission. The commission is investigating whether Gillum accepted gifts from lobbyists after a Tallahassee businessman and critic of Gillum filed a complaint.

Gillum has denied any wrongdoing. Florida law bars elected officials from accepting anything worth more than $100.

Attorney Chris Kise was once Florida's solicitor general and served on the transition team of Republican Gov. Rick Scott when Scott won in 2010.
