Sarah Sanders' office potentially violated state law in $19K lectern controversy, audit finds
The little-seen, $19,000 lectern at the center of a controversy in Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders' office was made available for viewing on Tuesday night -- after a monthslong audit into how the lectern was procured and paid for found that Sanders' staff potentially violated several state laws. The governor's office, meanwhile, responded by characterizing the investigation as "a waste of taxpayer resources and time" and called the audit report "deeply flawed." "The facts outlined in the report demonstrate what the governor's office said all along: we followed the law, and the state was fully reimbursed with private funds for the podium, at no cost to the taxpayers," spokesperson Alexa Henning said in a statement.
