Months before losing re-election, former Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., touted the work of her non-profit to donors even though records indicate the organization may have never been registered as a tax-exempt organization.
Bush described Poltivist Power Inc. as "a new 501(c)(4) organization uniting grassroots organizing with political strategy to fight oppression," in a fundraising email.
"My team and I are on the ground, and we could use your support. Can we count on you to donate to our tornado fund today so we can continue our relief efforts?" Bush wrote.
