Warnock Used Loophole to Bypass Outside Income Limit by $125K

Democrat Georgia Sen. Raphael Warnock bypassed outside income limits last year by using a “fabricated” loophole, according to Fox News.

Warnock’s financial disclosure shows he received $154,895 in compensation from Atlanta’s historic Ebenezer Baptist Church in 2022, while outside income for senators is limited to around $30,000.

However, Warnock exceeded the limit by claiming that $125,000 of his pay from the church was “deferred compensation for services before January 20, 2021,” the Washington Free Beacon reported.

“If it was inaccurately reported on his filing and the money was actually earned after he became a senator, then the outside earned income limit would apply,” Kendra Arnold, executive director of the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust, told the Free Beacon.

“In that case the legal issue that would arise (in addition to exceeding the outside income limit) is filing inaccurate or false information on a personal financial disclosure, i.e. wrongly saying it was deferred compensation when it wasn’t,” Arnold said.

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger also set his sights on a foundation tied to Warnock’s church. Last fall, Raffensperger probed the Ebenezer Building Foundation – operated by the Ebenezer Baptist Church – on its nonprofit status after it failed to register as a charitable organization in the state.

The Ebenezer Building Foundation owns a low-income housing unit that pursued evicting residents over past-due rent as low as $25.88, the Free Beacon reported. Warnock, meanwhile, had received a staggering $7,417 monthly housing allowance from the church.
