Cori Bush's campaign paid her husband for security services - but he doesn't have a private security license
Fox News
Rep. Cori Bush's now-husband, Cortney Merritts, received $60,000 in security payments from her campaign. He does not have a security license in the St. Louis area.
Fox News Digital filed a public records request with the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department on Monday morning seeking information regarding Merritts' private security license. In response, a Sunshine Law administrator said there are "no responsive records" relative to the request, and Merritts does not have a current license.

When asked if Merritts ever had a private security license, the administrator said that the "last security license issued to that individual expired in 2012."
