McMaster Response To SLED Announcement

“This office will review SLED’s official report when it is received. I see no reason to doubt SLED’s conclusions, their professionalism, or objectivity.

Maintaining public trust, complete transparency, and full public disclosure is vitally important. That is why today I called on Governor Sanford to immediately release his travel records to the media and public as promised.

The people of this state have twice elected me Attorney General.

Rightfully so, they expect me to make the right calls regardless of the political considerations. I will not duck or abuse my constitutional responsibilities merely to satisfy those who seek a politically motivated fishing expedition.“
