Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO), a member of the 'Squad,' paid her husband thousands of dollars more in campaign funds for private security and other matters during the second quarter of 2023, according to new Federal Election Commission filings.
Rep. Cori Bush , a member of the"Squad," paid her husband thousands of dollars more in campaign funds for private security and other matters during the second quarter of 2023, according to new Federal Election Commission filings.
Merritts and Bush have reportedly been together since before the congresswoman assumed office in 2021. Bush, who in recent years has come under fire from Republicans for her support of the left-wing movement to defund the police, has cut Merritts regular $2,500 checks since January of that year, according to filings.
In 2022 alone, Bush's campaign shelled out $60,000 to Merritts, filings show. The Committee to Defeat the President alleged in its prior complaint that the campaign had been"falsely reporting the purpose of the disbursements." The Bush campaign's security team has employed Nathaniel Davis III, a friend of the congresswoman who has purported to be a 109 trillion-year-old spiritual guru, according to the Washington Free Beacon. It has also paid PEACE Security, a St. Louis-based limited liability corporation specializing in"armed security" as well as surveillance system sales and installation, according to public records.
