Questions Surrounding Tennessee Rep's Use of Child Burial Garden Donations

TL;DR Summary
Congressman Andy Ogles is facing questions about a GoFundMe campaign he launched in 2014 to build a children's burial garden. Instead of building the garden, Ogles kept the nearly $25,000 raised for what he claims were other charitable purposes, but he has provided no proof. Further investigation has revealed that Ogles could have purchased burial plots for needy families for $1,200 each, and two cemeteries say they were willing to work with him. Ogles has made up stories about his resume in the past and has not provided any evidence to support his latest claims.
