Here’s a shocker (not so shocking) report for you, hot off the press. Former Representative Bush’s husband has been indicted for wire fraud, after being accused of submitting false applications to receive COVID relief funds.
Remember how we blew the whistle on COVID fraud and the left accused us of conspiracy? I love being proved right…
Typical Democrat corruption, using taxpayer money for personal gain. Cori Bush and her husband are just the latest to get caught exploiting a crisis for cash. These politicians are out for themselves, not for us.

As shared by Trending Politics founder Collin Rugg:
The development comes following a separate investigation where Bush is accused of paying her husband $150,000 to serve as her “bodyguard.”
According to the Department of Justice, Cortney Merritts obtained more than $20,000 by falsifying business records.
He allegedly took advantage of the Paycheck Protection Program and Economic Injury Disaster Loan Program.
The Washing Free Beacon reported, “Cortney Merritts, who secretly married Bush in 2023, falsified details about his purported businesses in order to obtain more than $20,000 in loans from the Small Business Administration in 2020 and 2021.”
