'Squad' member Cori Bush's jewelry, dresses from constituents raise ethics 'red flags,' watchdog says
Fox News
Gifts Rep. Cori Bush receives from her constituents raises red flags with ethics rules, a watchdog told Fox News.
"Throughout the general election, she posted videos of herself in the clothes she proudly wore: formfitting dresses, leggings, and tall boots," reporter Kaitlyn Greenidge wrote in the profile. "Her father tells me that people in the neighborhood now regularly drop off dresses, jewelry and shoes for her to wear in Washington. 'They say, "We want her to look her best. She's representing us."'"
But a watchdog told Fox News that this scenario is problematic since ethics rules strictly prohibit House members from taking gifts valued at more than $50.
