Kentucky Executive Ethics Committee decides to move forward Wednesday and investigate U.S. Senate candidate Daniel Cameron As the charges date back to July 2023, then Kentucky's attorney general and gubernatorial candidate solicited campaign donations from a company his office was investigating.
"What's going on is exactly what they're doing to President Trump: the administration's shameless weapon to eliminate political opponents," Daniel Cameron told Fox News Digital in an exclusive statement. "This is the first major case of Democratic law in the cycle of 2026, and the timing is no coincidence. I'm leading the Republican field with more than 20 points. It's clear that the left is most worried about the most."

Fox News Digital spoke to sources close to Edgewater on Thursday, saying immediately in details of the public deal and phone call that any plans for the fundraising will soon be quickly dissipated, and any campaign funds will be returned almost immediately.
