DOJ probes Cori Bush security spending

The U.S. Department of Justice is conducting a criminal investigation into progressive Congresswoman Cori Bush for potential misspending of security money, Punchbowl News reported Tuesday.

As part of the probe into the Missouri Democrat and her member representation allowance, the DOJ sent a subpoena for documents to the House of Representatives Office of the Sergeant at Arms, according to Punchbowl and other outlets.

"I asked Cori Bush about the investigation directly last night," Punchbowl's Max Cohen said on social media. "She repeatedly declined to comment and reprimanded me for approaching her as she had a toothache."
