Progressive Democrat and ‘Squad’ member Rep. Cori Bush has racked up nearly $100,000 in legal fees in the first quarter of the year, according to her campaign finance records.
The massive legal bills come as she faces a federal investigation from the Department of Justice (DOJ) over her alleged misuse of $750,000 in campaign funds on personal security.
Bush has maintained she has done nothing wrong and is cooperating with the investigation.
The fees, which amounted to a staggering $86,000 between January and March 2024, may or may not be related to her ongoing DOJ case.
The Federal Election Commission (FEC) and House Ethics Committee are also investigating Bush’s use of campaign finances.
