AP: Walker’s chicken firm tied to benefits from unpaid labor

Centre Daily Times: Centre County doctors share ‘deep concern’ about Mehmet Oz as Pennsylvania Senator

WKOW: “State records show a trust fund started by Republican Sen. Ron Johnson hasn’t paid any Wisconsin taxes since 2016”

Republican Senate candidates have faced a brutal 24 hours of press coverage: Herschel Walker is facing more questions about his business record after the AP revealed his company “benefits from unpaid labor”; Mehmet Oz continues to be slammed by Pennsylvania doctors who say he “poses a threat” to the Commonwealth, and Ron Johnson is under fire after WKOW reported that his family trust and his business used loopholes to avoid paying state taxes.

See the coverage for yourself:

In Georgia, Herschel Walker – who has been caught repeatedly lying about the size and scope of his businesses – is facing yet another troubling revelation as the Associated Press revealed that his company took advantage of unpaid labor from a program lawyers have described as a “work camp.”

• AP: Walker’s chicken firm tied to benefits from unpaid labor. “An Associated Press review of federal court cases, alongside other public records and statements, offers a more complicated reality. One instance at the heart of Walker’s business portfolio suggests he has benefited, through a firm he touts as a principal partner and supplier, from the unpaid labor of drug offenders routed from state courts to residential rehabilitation programs in lieu of prison.”

In Pennsylvania, the Centre Daily Times reported that PA doctors share a “deep concern” about Mehmet Oz and “say he poses a threat to Pennsylvanians.” Their opposition comes as a series of new reports have engulfed Oz’s campaign in scandal ahead of tonight’s debate.

• Centre Daily Times: Centre County doctors share ‘deep concern’ about Mehmet Oz as Pennsylvania Senator. “More than 10 doctors from around Centre County participated in a ‘Real Doctors Against Oz’ tour stop in State College Monday, hosted by John Fetterman’s senate campaign. The tour is led by Pennsylvania medical professionals who don’t trust Dr. Mehmet Oz and say he poses a threat to Pennsylvanians, according to a release from Fetterman’s campaign.”

And in Wisconsin, new reporting from WKOWrevealed that multi-millionaire Ron Johnson’s family trust used a loophole to avoid paying state taxes since 2016 – and that his company also did not pay any state taxes for the last several years. WKOW: From six-figure tax bills to $0: Why trust fund set up by Sen. Johnson no longer owes state taxes. “State records show a trust fund started by Republican Sen. Ron Johnson hasn’t paid any Wisconsin taxes since 2016. Before then, the fund paid hundreds of thousands of dollars each year in state taxes.”
