The Justice Department is investigating Democratic Rep. Cori Bush over potential misuse of funds for her personal security services, with the House sergeant at arms receiving a subpoena seeking records related to her use of security funds. Bush, a member of "the squad," has confirmed the federal probe and stated that she and her team are fully cooperating. She defended her spending on private security, citing relentless threats to her safety, and emphasized that she has not used federal tax dollars for personal security services.
