Larry Hogan urged state and federal investigators Thursday to probe the possible connection between large political donations to the Democratic Governors Association (DGA) and the award of Maryland state contracts to donors. Hogan, the GOP nominee for governor, also called on federal investigators to widen their audit of Marylands health exchange to examine whether state tax dollars were misspent on the faulty online insurance marketplace. He convened a news conference Thursday to allege what he called a pattern of suspicious donations and suggest that his opponent, Lt. Gov. Anthony G. Brown, might be the beneficiary. Hogan asked the U.S. attorney for Maryland, the Maryland attorney general and the state prosecutor to investigate. These millions of dollars in unethical, inappropriate and potentially illegal donations flowing into a gubernatorial campaign here in Maryland have the very real potential of corrupting the integrity of the entire electoral process in this election, Hogan told reporters at his Annapolis headquarters.
