"DOJ Investigates Rep. Cori Bush for Campaign Security Fund Misuse"

Rep. Cori Bush is under investigation by the Department of Justice, the Federal Election Commission, and the House Committee on Ethics for her campaign's spending on security services, including hiring her now-husband as part of her security team. Bush claims her husband provides services at or below-market rate and is fully cooperating with the investigations. The use of campaign funds for security services has come under scrutiny, especially in the wake of heightened security concerns following the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
