Cortney Merritts, the ex-leaning congressman Cori Bush’s spouse, has been charged with defrauding the federal government. According to the Washington Free Beacon, the charges stem from the alleged collusion between Merritts and the FBI, who fraudulently obtained tens of thousands of dollars in COVID-19 pleasure money.
In order to obtain more than$ 20 000 in money from the Small Business Administration in 2020 and 2021, according to a statement from the Department of Justice, Merritts is accused of falsifying data about his companies. These mortgages were provided by the Economic Injury Disaster Loan Program and Paycheck Protection Program.
Cori Bush, who formerly represented St. Louis, lost a primary election next year, which she dubiously attributed to Israeli effect. Bush has faced criticism for her social positions, including her opposition to a resolution barring Hamas jihadists from entering the United States and her former far-left” Squad” with Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib.
Following a DOJ research that was launched about a year ago into Bush’s plan donations to Merritts, this indictment comes to mind. Bush’s campaign spent more than$ 812, 000 on “questionable” private security, with more than$ 150, 000 going to her husband. According to reports from the Washington Free Beacon, Bush continued to pay Merritts$ 5, 000 per month from her campaign cash for” safety service” even after the investigation was launched.
Moreover, according to the Free Beacon, Bush has received criticism for funneling tens of thousands of dollars in campaign cash to a close buddy who claims to have supernatural powers.
