Squad progressive Rep. Cori Bush is under investigation by the Justice Department for allegedly misusing government funds meant for private security.
Punchbowl News first reported that DOJ is conducting the criminal probe into Bush, said the Daily Mail.
A watchdog has demanded the Federal Election Commission (FEC) investigate the $62,000 Rep. Cori Bush paid her now-husband as a security guard from her campaign account.
The nonpartisan Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust (FACT) asked FEC acting general counsel Lisa Stevenson to look into whether Squad member and BLM activist Bush ‘used campaign funds for personal use.’
It was recently revealed that Bush, D-Mo., married Cortney Merritts in a private ceremony last month. Last year he was on the payroll of her re-election campaign.
