WATCH: Cori Bush's husband confronted over the thousands in cash he has received from her campaign
Cortney Merritts appears to tell videographer he does not have a role with campaign before backtracking
The husband of far-left "Squad" Rep. Cori Bush of Missouri was pressed late last week on the streets of Washington, D.C., over the thousands of dollars in cash he has received from his wife's campaign.
Fox News Digital confronted Cortney Merritts, who appeared to backtrack about his role on the campaign after initially telling the videographer he doesn't have a role in the campaign.
Merritts has pocketed $102,500 in payments since Bush added him to her campaign's payroll in January 2022 for what they marked as "security" payments before switching their description to "wage expenses" in April, Fox News Digital reported.
Fox News Digital has contacted her campaign several times over the past two years regarding the security payments - first, regarding the security payments in general as she pushed to defund the police, then regarding the payments to Merritts - but Bush's campaign did not respond to a single inquiry.
