The
Washington Post found Georgia Senate Democrat candidate Jon Ossoff embellished his national security credentials during his 2017 bid to represent Georgia’s sixth congressional district.
Ossoff gained the Democrat nomination to replace outgoing Rep. Tom Price (R-GA), who was tapped to lead the Health and Human Services (HHS) Department under President Donald Trump. The race for Georgia’s sixth congressional district was one of the most expensive congressional race at the time.
Ossoff, who was then-30-years-old, touted his alleged national security credentials as part of his qualifications for Congress.
Ossoff said in 2017, “I’ve got five years of experience as a national security staffer in the U.S. Congress. I held top-secret security clearance.”

Georgia Senate Democrat hopefuls hold a slight lead over GOP incumbent Sens. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) and David Perdue (R-GA) one week ahead of the highly anticipated runoff elections, a Trafalgar Group survey released Tuesday found.
The survey, fielded December 23-27, found Jon Ossoff leading Perdue in the Peach State, 50.4 percent to 47.7 percent with 1.9 percent remaining undecided. Rev. Raphael Warnock, whom Loeffler has branded a “radical liberal,” also leads, but by a smaller margin 49.6 percent to 48.8 percent. Less than two percent remain undecided in that race as well. Notably, both of the Democrats’ leads are within the survey’s +/-2.99 percent margin of error.

DALLAS, Georgia Sen. David Perdue (R-GA) told Breitbart News Tuesday on the campaign bus that Georgia Senate Democrat candidate Jon Ossoff has a huge “liability” with his omission of a payment from a Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-linked company, which may jeopardize Democrats’ chances of taking back the Senate.
Breitbart News reported that Ossoff failed to list a payment that his film company, Insight TWI, received a payment from Hong Kong-based PCCW Media Limited on his financial disclosure. Ossoff later amended his filings to include the payment. The Georgia GOP submitted a complaint to the Senate Ethics Committee regarding the payment. Ossoff’s campaign attributed the payment omission to a “paperwork oversight” caught during a “normal review.”
