EXCLUSIVE: Freshman firebrand Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., nabbed a genres deal worth up to $100,000 before even finishing her first term in office.

According to her disclosure, Bush also paid herself $32,000 in salary from her campaign noted as salary “permissible under FEC rules” and brought in $12,000 from a consulting firm for “research consulting.”
Neither the Missouri firebrand nor Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group immediately responded to Fox News’ requests for comment.
Bush — a vocal advocate of defunding crime — recently came under fire after it was revealed she had spent over $70,000 on private security for herself.

“They would rather I die?” Bush asked. “You would rather me die? Is that what you want to see? You want to see me die? You know, because that could be the alternative.”
The Missouri Democrat came under fire again recently after it was revealed that she had hired two then-active sheriff’s deputies — thereby personally funding the police — to be her private security, costing them their jobs at the department.
