WASHINGTON: An ethics probe into whether South Carolina's Indian-American governor Nikki Haley illegally lobbied for her employers when she was a legislator would be launched by a key legislative panel on Thursday in a first such probe against the state's top elected official.
Haley has denied any wrongdoings. "We have turned over anything and everything that they want. It has been an amicable process. And if they want my birth certificate, driver's licence, they can get that too," Haley said.
Haley, who was a state representative from 2005-2010 , is accused of using her office to illegally lobby on behalf of two of her employers — the Lexington Medical Center Foundation, where she was a $110,000-ayear fundraiser, and the Columbia-based Wilbur Smith and Associates engineering firm, where she was paid $42,500 as a consultant.
