"Sarah Huckabee Sanders Faces Backlash for $19,000 Lectern Controversy"

Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders is facing scrutiny over a $19,000 custom lectern purchased by her office, with questions arising about the high price and reimbursement process. The drama escalated when records revealed that the Arkansas Republican Party reimbursed the state for the lectern shortly after a Freedom of Information Act request was filed. Sanders has called it an "accounting error" and welcomed an audit, while an anonymous whistleblower accused her office of altering records. A state legislative panel is expected to vote on an audit, with lawmakers calling for transparency and a full investigation.
