Umalma si Senator Richard Gordon sa naiulat na tumanggap umano ito donasyon mula sa pinaghihinalaang mastermind ng Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) o pork barrel fund scam na si Janet Lim-Napoles.
"There have never been any reports that he (Gordon) was involved in the PDAF scam she masterminded, otherwise cases would have been filed against him years ago,’’ ayon sa pahayag ng tanggapan ng senador.
Sa inilabas na pahayag ng senador, nakatira si Napoles sa isang condominium building kung saan naninirahan din si Gordon kaya madali lamang sa kanila na makuha ang kanilang unit number.
"To set the record straight, all campaign contributions and expenses related to the past election campaigns as well as the use of development assistance funds of Senator Gordon and his office are above board and of public record,’’ dagdag pa pahayag ng senador.
