Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill was hit with another politically damaging report Tuesday when her local newspaper revealed businesses tied to her husband have gotten more than $131 million in federal subsidies since she took office.
According to an investigation by The Kansas City Star, Joseph Shepard's personal income also has grown since McCaskill took office in 2007.
He reportedly made between $1,608 and $16,731 in 2006. But by 2017, Shepard reportedly earned between $365,374 and $1.2 million "from investments in housing projects that received federal subsidies."
The information came from the senator's financial disclosure forms, which only provide a range of income. The report dropped as President Trump was preparing to stump and fundraise for her likely Republican challenger in the midterms, state Attorney General Josh Hawley.
There is no evidence that McCaskill was involved in directing any funds into her husbands affiliated businesses, and she does not sit on any committees that award such funding. McCaskill has also voted both for and against government spending bills that benefit affordable housing programs.

Surprised that the RED STAR or FALLING STAR wrote that article. They didn’t get their talking points.

Yea, it is amazing how many Congressmen and Senators begin their careers in Washington without two nickels to rub together, and when they leave office they are millionaires.

It was coming out anyway, they just wanted to soft pedal it first. mccaskill was privy to insider information and passed it on to her husband. Not that this is anything new. It’s why almost all congress critters go into office worth a few hundred thousand dollars and come out multi millionaires. If we had an honest msm, that couldn’t happen.
