Arkansas Governor Accused of Illegally Altering Records

Attorney Tom Mars sent a letter to Sen. Jimmy Hickey Jr. Requesting a legislative audit of Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders' office expenses, specifically related to the purchase of a podium in June.

The Republican Party of Arkansas reimbursed the governor's office for the cost of the podium, and Henning stated on social media that the governor welcomes the audit.
