Perdue, 71, a one-term Republican and former corporate executive, has also sought to make the films a central campaign issue, questioning their financing. “I’d like him to explain where his money comes from, really, in his business,” Perdue said in a debate with Ossoff. In addition, a member of the General Council of FIFA, the international governing body of soccer, who was filmed taking a $65,000 payment, was banned by the organization as a result of the film, according to Reuters. Ossoff said he hasn’t decided what he will do with his executive role and company ownership if he is elected senator. “I doubt that it will be viable to function as a hands-on CEO of the firm and serve in the Senate,” Ossoff said.
