DOJ Investigates Rep. Cori Bush for Campaign Fund Misuse

The Justice Department is investigating Rep. Cori Bush's campaign spending on security services, with a focus on her use of campaign funds for personal protection. Bush denies any wrongdoing and asserts that she has not used federal tax dollars for personal security. The investigation stems from her marriage to her security guard and subsequent retention of him on her campaign payroll. Bush maintains that her husband provides necessary services at or below fair market rate. The probe follows complaints filed by conservative watchdog groups, and while the independent Office of Congressional Ethics dismissed the matter, the bipartisan House Ethics Committee has not closed the case.
