Related: About this forumSarah Huckabee Sanders faces investigation for $19,000 lectern and 'hidden' public records
A whistleblower in Arkansas is accusing the state's governor, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, of improperly altering and refusing to release records at a time when her office is being investigated for its spending.
Tom Mars, the attorney representing the whistleblower, is reportedly seeking a legislative audit of the governor, according to a letter he sent to state Representative Jimmy Hickey on Friday. The letter also said the whistleblower would be willing to give testimony, according to the Arkansas Times.
Mr Hickey and the Legislative Joint Auditing Committee began investigating a purchase she made for her office. The governor of the seventh poorest state in the US reportedly purchased a $19,000 lectern, sparking blowback on social media, according to the Arkansas Advocate.
Arkansas median income for an individual in 2020 was a little more than $27,000, according to the US Census Bureau.
