Democrat Cori Bush Criminal Investigation: What We Know

Representative Cori Bush is reportedly facing a Department of Justice (DOJ) investigation related to alleged misuse of funds.

"THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT is conducting a criminal probe into @CoriBush," Punchbowl News founder Jake Sherman posted on X, formerly Twitter. He cited six anonymous sources "familiar with the investigation."

The New York Times also reported that Bush, a Missouri Democrat, is under investigation, also citing anonymous sources.

Bush responded to the investigation in a statement Tuesday afternoon.

"First and foremost, I hold myself, my campaign, and my position to the highest levels of integrity," she said. "I also believe in transparency which is why I can confirm that the Department of Justice is reviewing my campaign's spending on security services. We are fully cooperating in this investigation, and I would like to take this opportunity to outline the facts and the truth."
