TALLAHASSEE (CBSMiami/AP) — Florida's Democratic gubernatorial candidate is out to show he has nothing to hide.
Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum is releasing receipts that he says shows he paid for trips that have triggered an ethics complaint against him.
Florida's Democratic nominee for governor met Tuesday with investigators from the state ethics commission to discuss the trips.
The ethics commission inquiry is separate from an ongoing FBI corruption investigation into city government, but there are links between the two.
Gillum vacationed at a luxury resort in Costa Rica in May 2016 with lobbyist Adam Corey, as well as another investor in a Tallahassee restaurant that received financial assistance from both the city and the local community redevelopment agency.
During that trip, Corey set up a meeting between Gillum and FBI undercover agents.
During the New York trip, Gillum met with Corey and undercover agents and attended a showing of the Broadway show "Hamilton."
