Democratic Rep. Cori Bush of Missouri, a member of the notorious “squad” of House Democrats, is under investigation by the Department of Justice for potential criminal activity. The St. Louis Democrat is facing allegations of misusing funds earmarked for security, and the DOJ has wasted no time in pursuing the matter. This investigation has caught the attention of Punchbowl News founder Jake Sherman, who first reported the breaking news on social media, sending shockwaves throughout the political landscape.
Department of Justice Conducting Criminal Investigation of 'Squad' Congresswoman: Report via @WestJournalism https://t.co/fix9ENfwqS

According to reports, the Justice Department has issued a subpoena to the House Sergeant at Arms, seeking records related to the alleged mishandling of federal security funds. The magnitude of the misspending is staggering, with Bush purportedly spending over $750,000 of taxpayer money on security within a span of just two terms as a congresswoman. To make matters worse, her husband, Cortney Merritts, who lacks any background or training in private security, pocketed over $60,000 from these funds while working on her re-election campaign in 2022.
While the Department of Justice has not yet publicly disclosed the full extent of its investigation, a nonprofit group, the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust, has called on the Federal Election Commission to look into Bush’s actions. Punchbowl News reporter Max Cohen bravely confronted Bush about the criminal probe, only to be met with resistance and deflection. Bush, who is known for her allegiance to the leftist “squad” members, avoided addressing the issue and instead complained of a toothache.
Bush’s swift rise to power and her entanglement with the so-called “squad” have cemented her as a figurehead for the progressive left. However, the cloud of suspicion hovering over her has cast doubt on her integrity and judgment. This scandal has ignited fervent debate and speculation, and the public eagerly awaits further developments in this ongoing investigation.
