Time Magazine is reporting that while Hogan was governor, he voted five times as a member of the State Board of Public Works to give state loans or grants to developers who were clients of his real estate brokerage firm.

A spokesman for Hogan said he did nothing wrong and signed a trust agreement when he first went into office.

Eric Cortellessa , a staff writer at Time Magazine , joined WTOP ’s Shawn Anderson and Anne Kramer to discuss the latest developments.

Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan took a shot at former Gov. Carlos Cortellessa .

He says Hogan 's response signals that it is a political vulnerability for him, going into these final weeks of the election.

The first story triggered new ethics legislation that was passed unanimously in the Maryland General Assembly , meaning Republicans and Democrats voted for it alike.
