A spokesperson for Senator Doug Jones (D-AL) on Friday evening reacted to Yellowhammer News’ reporting from earlier in the day that the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust (FACT) has filed a complaint with the Senate Select Committee on Ethics against Jones for allegedly using official government resources for campaign and political purposes.

The complaint by this ethics watchdog maintains that Jones has consistently used his campaign Twitter account to link to his official Senate Twitter account.

However, Jones’ spokesperson rebutted this allegation, saying Jones has done nothing wrong.

“Senator Jones has sole control over the use of his personal Twitter account (@dougjones),” said Caroline Stonecipher, who is the press secretary for Jones’ Senate office. “This account is neither managed nor accessible by either official Senate staff or campaign staff.”

“Senator Jones has firmly adhered to guidance from both the Senate Ethics Committee counsel and Senate Rules Committee counsel in maintaining this as a personal account from which he is allowed to post both official and non-official content,” she concluded.
