“Squad” Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) recently cut more checks from her campaign to her husband and longtime security guard — payments that came after the Justice Department opened an investigation into her major spending on private security.

Bush dished out $15,000 between April and June to Cortney Merritts for a “wage expense,” adding on to the more than $137,000 she has paid her husband since 2022, according to Federal Election Commission filings. The new payments come months after Bush noted she is “fully cooperating” with a DOJ investigation into the private security disbursements, which are north of $750,000 combined, documents show.
