- Fagan, a Democrat and the state’s second-highest ranking official, indicated she wants to keep her elected position despite Republican calls for her resignation.
- Gov. Tina Kotek, also a Democrat, has requested investigations into the matter by the state’s Government Ethics Commission and Justice Department.
- “I am sorry for harming the trust that I and so many others have worked so hard to build with you over the last few years,” Fagan said.
