Rep. Cori Bush's campaign has funneled tens of thousands of dollars to her new husband, Courtney Merritts, for private security and other expenses during the first half of 2023, filings reviewed by Fox News Digital show.
The Missouri Democrat's campaign, which blew past the second quarter filing deadline and could face potential fines, finally submitted her committee report on Saturday, a week after it was due. The new filing shows Merritts pocketed $17,500 for security services and "wage expenses" between April and June. These payments follow the $12,500 that went to him during the first quarter for private security services, bringing his total to $30,000 for the year.
During this time, the "Squad" member also moved $62,000 to the St. Louis-based PEACE Security, which hires several "security operators" with military or law enforcement experience, despite her opposition to them, their website states. The campaign also paid Nathaniel Davis, who has claimed he's 109 trillion years old and can summon tornadoes, $27,500 for security services during the first half of the year.
