Democrats urge Ard to resign amid ethics probe head to grand jury
South Carolina Democrats called for Lt. Gov. Ken Ard to resign as a state grand jury probes his ethics case. Ard faced 107 civil counts for using campaign funds on personal expenses and paid fines totaling 60,500 plus investigative costs. Ard said he would cooperate, and the AG referred questions to the grand jury. Republicans accused Democrats of political posturing while Ard’s team seeks a full investigation to reveal all facts.
