Republican Sen. Josh Hawley used campaign funds to pay for $197 in food during family Universal [View all]
Studios tripRepublican Sen. Josh Hawley, who has been in the spotlight in recent days for stirring up Trump supporters who breached the Capitol, is attracting scrutiny for using campaign funds to pay for food for his family during a lobbyist retreat outing at Universal Studios Orlando.
The New York Post was the first to uncover the Federal Election Commission records showing Hawley using $197 in campaign funds to buy food at Universal Studios vendors like Lard Lad Donuts and Margaritaville.
Politicians are expressly prohibited from using campaign funds to pay for personal expenditures.
Hawley and his family visited Universal Studios as part of a family-friend lobbyist retreat to Orlando in February 2020.
