One of the trips under scrutiny was a 2008 trip to South America the governor took with state commerce officials, for which Sanford has already repaid the state treasury.
"Our conclusion is, is that was a decision that he made on his own, just to repay those funds for appearance's sake," Lloyd explained. "The trip was legitimate, he conducted business on behalf of the state during that trip, and whatever else he did during that time in no way changed the legitimacy of that trip."
Lloyd stated that SLED will forward its completed report to the state attorney general and ethics commission, and he repeated earlier statements that the inquiry was not a criminal investigation and that there has been no evidence that suggested wrongdoing.
The governor's office also released his public and private travel records to the media.
"Now that SLED has finished its review, we believe it appropriate to also release the governor's personal travel records to the media, so that there can be full and complete disclosure and transparency," Sawyer said in a statement accompanying the records' release.
Sanford's admission of an extramarital affair last week was shocking to many Republicans, and detailed revelations Tuesday about more meetings with his mistress pushed many over the edge.
Calls for Sanford's resignation from both the GOP and Democrats -- which were relatively quiet initially -- have grown louder since the embattled governor confessed in an interview with The Associated Press that Chapur is his "soul mate" and that he has "crossed lines" with other women as well.
