The Absurd GOP

Sarah Sanders accused of altering public records about her $19,000 podium purchase

Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R-AR) faces new and deepening questions in the so-called "Podiumgate" controversy, following a new report that she tried to alter records about an invoice for a $19,000 lectern she purchased with a state government credit card, according to the Associated Press.

"The Arkansas GOP paid for the lectern in September, but the words 'to be reimbursed' were only added later to the original invoice, records released this week show. The undated reimbursement note adds to weeks of scrutiny over the purchase, which has dominated political talk in Arkansas," reported Andrew DeMillo. "The Republican Party of Arkansas reimbursed the state for the purchase on Sept. 14, and Sanders’ office has called the use of a state credit card for the lectern an accounting error. Sanders’ office said it received the lectern in August."

Prior reports have indictated, however, that the reimbursement was only arranged after reporters started asking questions.
