The Department of Justice is investigating Democratic Rep. Cori Bush for allegedly misusing campaign funds for security services, which she denies, stating that she has complied with all applicable laws and House rules. Bush claims she has faced relentless threats and needed to use campaign funds for protection services, hiring her husband as part of her team. The Justice Department has subpoenaed the House Sergeant at Arms for resources connected to the case, and there are also inquiries from the Federal Election Commission and the House Ethics Committee. Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries reiterated that Bush is cooperating with the investigation and is entitled to the presumption of innocence.
