DOJ Probes Cori Bush for Campaign Finance Violations

Democratic Congressmember Cori Bush has acknowledged she is under a Justice Department investigation for allegedly misusing campaign funds. In a statement, Bush said, “In recent months, right-wing organizations have lodged baseless complaints against me, peddling notions that I have misused campaign funds to pay for personal security services. That simply is not true.” Last year the Office of Congressional Ethics investigated Bush’s campaign spending and voted to dismiss the allegations. Bush’s security needs increased after she faced numerous death threats.
