A prosecutor says he will not file any criminal charges over the purchase of a $19,000 lectern by the office of Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders. The purchase last June has attracted nationwide scrutiny. An audit found it potentially violated state laws on purchasing, state property and government records.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — A prosecutor said Friday he will not file any criminal charges over the purchase of a $19,000 lectern by the office of Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders that attracted nationwide scrutiny.
There is “insufficient proof of criminal conduct,” Jones said in a letter Friday to auditor Roger Norman.Alexa Henning, a spokeswoman for the governor, said Jones’ review confirmed what the governor’s office had said all along. The lectern for Sanders, who served as press secretary for former President Donald Trump and has been widely viewed as a potential candidate to be his running mate, has drawn attention ranging from late night host Jimmy Kimmel to The New York Times.Alice Stewart, CNN political commentator and veteran political adviser, dies at 58The blue and wood-paneled lectern was bought last June with a state credit card for $19,029.25 from an events company in Virginia.
Sanders’ office and auditors disputed whether the governor and other constitutional officers are subject to the purchasing and property rules she was accused of violating. The audit said the governor’s office did not follow the steps laid out in state law for agencies to dispose of state property.
