Minnesota Republican Rep. Jim Hagedorn fired his chief of staff, Peter Su, his office confirmed to the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Su was fired as a result of concerns about alleged “irregular spending” out of Hagedorn’s office, two sources with direct knowledge of the matter told the DCNF.
“Yes he was fired, but we do not discuss personnel issues beyond that,” Hagedorn’s interim chief of staff, Carol Stevenson, told the DCNF in a text message Friday.
Hagedorn, a first-term congressman, led all of Congress in spending during the first quarter of 2020, according to government tracking website Legistorm. Hagedorn’s office spent roughly 40% of their annual budget in the first quarter, while the average member of Congress spent roughly 20% of their budget over that same time period, according to Legistorm.
Nearly half of Hagedorn’s first quarter spending went towards printing costs and constituent mailers, according to Legistorm, which notes that the “average member has spent 0.8 percent of their budgets on mass mailings.”
A source with direct knowledge of the situation, who requested anonymity for fear of professional retaliation, told the Daily Caller News Foundation that Su directly oversaw the alleged unusually high spending levels.
“Once irregular spending was brought to Rep. Hagedorn’s attention, he immediately consulted with the House Administration Committee and House Ethics Committee and took action to get to the bottom of what exactly had happened to these funds and suspended the person in question,” another source with direct knowledge of the matter told the DCNF on condition of anonymity, citing political and legal sensitivities.
“Subsequently, the person in question was terminated,” the source added, referring to Su. (RELATED: St. Louis Prosecutor Kim Gardner Fundraised Off McCloskey Case. Their Lawyers Want Her Disqualified)
Hagedorn said in a statement his office released to the DCNF: “When I became aware of this matter approximately two months ago, I took immediate action by hiring outside counsel to perform an independent review, making senior-level personnel changes, and reestablishing best practices for staff and the acquisition of services.”
“I also advised the House Committees of jurisdiction, House Administration and Ethics, of our independent review, which remains ongoing. Moving forward, I will continue to provide the Committees with findings from our review and offer recommendations to improve House franking operations,” Hagedorn added.
“While these relatively routine duties were fully delegated to my former Chief of Staff and our finance officer, I acknowledge responsibility for the oversight of my office and will continue to make any necessary management improvements,” Hagedorn said in the statement.

‘Misogyny And Double Standard’: Tim Kaine Thinks ‘Major Reason’ Hillary Clinton Lost Is Because She’s A Woman

Democratic Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine said a “ major reason ” why former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 presidential election is because of the “ misogyny and double standard applied to the first woman nominee.
” Kaine was chosen as Clinton ’ s running mate for the 2016 election .
The Virginia senator appeared on Friday afternoon ’ s “ Bill Hemmer Reports ” to discuss presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden ’ s choice of California Sen. Kamala Harris for the vice presidential slot .
During the discussion , Kaine reflected back on his own experience @ @ @ @ @ @ @ presidential nominee .
“ The worst thing about the campaign was being on a ticket and seeing the misogyny and double standard applied to the first woman nominee .
The ‘ lock her up ’ chants or doubles standards that are applied , and I see some of that now starting up with Kamala Harris too with the president raising a question over whether she ’ s a U.S. citizen because her parents were immigrants , ” Kaine told anchor Bill Hemmer .
Citing statistics for women in Congress and comparing them to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that while the U.S. is “ good at an awful lot of things about women , ” the country has “ a bad track record of electing women to higher office.
” “ Come back to that comment about Hillary Clinton , ” Hemmer said between some technical difficulties .
“ Are you saying that ’ s why she lost ?
” “ That is a major reason , yeah , I ’ m absolutely sure of it , ” Kaine insisted .
“ I don ’ t think you would see people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ she been a man.
” Kaine referred to “ outrageous slurs ” and “ double standards ” directed at Clinton .
“ You don ’ t think it may be that Hillary Clinton was not the candidate that America wanted at that time ?
” Hemmer pressed .
( RELATED : ‘ White Men ’ s Electability Advantage Is A Myth , ’ Study Finds ) “ I didn ’ t say that there was only one reason for the outcome , but I do know this , ” he responded .

Democratic Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine said a “major reason” why former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 presidential election is because of the “misogyny and double standard applied to the first woman nominee.”
Kaine was chosen as Clinton’s running mate for the 2016 election. The Virginia senator appeared on Friday afternoon’s “Bill Hemmer Reports” to discuss presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s choice of California Sen. Kamala Harris for the vice presidential slot. During the discussion, Kaine reflected back on his own experience running with the first female major party presidential nominee.
“The worst thing about the campaign was being on a ticket and seeing the misogyny and double standard applied to the first woman nominee. The ‘lock her up’ chants or doubles standards that are applied, and I see some of that now starting up with Kamala Harris too with the president raising a question over whether she’s a U.S. citizen because her parents were immigrants,” Kaine told anchor Bill Hemmer.
WATCH:
Citing statistics for women in Congress and comparing them to other countries, the Virginia senator contended that while the U.S. is “good at an awful lot of things about women,” the country has “a bad track record of electing women to higher office.”
“Come back to that comment about Hillary Clinton,” Hemmer said between some technical difficulties. “Are you saying that’s why she lost?”
“That is a major reason, yeah, I’m absolutely sure of it,” Kaine insisted. “I don’t think you would see people chanting ‘lock her up’ had she been a man.”
Kaine referred to “outrageous slurs” and “double standards” directed at Clinton.
“You don’t think it may be that Hillary Clinton was not the candidate that America wanted at that time?” Hemmer pressed. (RELATED: ‘White Men’s Electability Advantage Is A Myth,’ Study Finds)
“I didn’t say that there was only one reason for the outcome, but I do know this,” he responded. “There were very definitely misogyny and double standards directed towards Hillary, and that’s what it’s going to take to have the first woman vice president or president is to kind of get over the hurdle that many other nations have been over but we haven’t yet.”

The 9th U.S Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower-level court ’ s decision that ruled California ’ s ban on high capacity ammunition magazines is unconstitutional , according to documents published Friday .
Since 2016 , California gun owners were unable to possess large-capacity magazines ( LCM ) defined as magazines built to contain more than 10 rounds .

Months later , California strengthened the provisions of that law with Proposition 63 , which added jail time as a penalty applicable to those caught with LCMs .

A lawsuit filed against the National Rifle Association ( NRA ) alleges a Hollywood producer received millions from the organization and exchanged favors with Wayne LaPierre , the NRA ’ s CEO .
Attorney General Letitia James announced the suit last week , which seeks to dissolve the NRA based on accusations that the group violated its non-profit status and engaged in rampant financial mishandling , according to the Wall Street Journal .
Producer David McKenzie , who ’ s named in the lawsuit as “ MMP Principal , ” was the “ principal stakeholder ” in multiple NRA vendors @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gun-rights group , the lawsuit read , according to WSJ .
The Emmy-award winning producer also loaned his mega yacht to LaPierre , paid for some of the CEO ’ s Bahamas vacations , and took thousands of dollars in birthday gifts from LaPierre that were paid for by NRA money , according to the complaint .
LaPierre took over 20 trips to California via private jet to link up with McKenzie throughout a four-year period in so-called “ celebrity retreats , ” the lawsuit alleges .
LaPierre also bought gifts for McKenzie @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Woman ’ s Leadership Forum , ” which is run by LaPierre ’ s wife , with NRA cash , according to the suit .
The gifts that amount to more than $ 250 need to disclosed and LaPierre failed to report contributions to the forum , the suit read .
The CEO failed to report his financial expenses with McKenzie , and the receiving of the gifts from the Hollywood producer who is listed as a “ NRA contractor ” was a violation of ethics policy , according to court documents .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ s Bahamas trips and yacht expeditions were meant “ to drive donations , third-party support , and enormous visibility for the NRA brand , ” he told WSJ .
Concerns about LaPierre ’ s relationship with McKenzie reach back over 25 years when insiders in the NRA raised red flags about a transfer of over $ 14 million to McKenzie ’ s Associated Television , a production and entertainment company , according to WSJ .
Members of the gun rights organization ’ s finance committee called the purchase “ vague ” and “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the outlet .
The sum was reportedly meant to bolster the NRA ’ s radio show , and $ 4.7 million has been given to Associated Television between 2018-2019 , according to WSJ .

A lawsuit filed against the National Rifle Association (NRA) alleges a Hollywood producer received millions from the organization and exchanged favors with Wayne LaPierre, the NRA’s CEO.
Attorney General Letitia James announced the suit last week, which seeks to dissolve the NRA based on accusations that the group violated its non-profit status and engaged in rampant financial mishandling, according to the Wall Street Journal. Producer David McKenzie, who’s named in the lawsuit as “MMP Principal,” was the “principal stakeholder” in multiple NRA vendors that received $100 million from the gun-rights group, the lawsuit read, according to WSJ.
The Emmy-award winning producer also loaned his mega yacht to LaPierre, paid for some of the CEO’s Bahamas vacations, and took thousands of dollars in birthday gifts from LaPierre that were paid for by NRA money, according to the complaint. LaPierre took over 20 trips to California via private jet to link up with McKenzie throughout a four-year period in so-called “celebrity retreats,” the lawsuit alleges.
LaPierre also bought gifts for McKenzie’s wife and supported the “Woman’s Leadership Forum,” which is run by LaPierre’s wife, with NRA cash, according to the suit. The gifts that amount to more than $250 need to disclosed and LaPierre failed to report contributions to the forum, the suit read.
The CEO failed to report his financial expenses with McKenzie, and the receiving of the gifts from the Hollywood producer who is listed as a “NRA contractor” was a violation of ethics policy, according to court documents.
NRA director Charles Cotton said LaPierre’s Bahamas trips and yacht expeditions were meant “to drive donations, third-party support, and enormous visibility for the NRA brand,” he told WSJ.
Concerns about LaPierre’s relationship with McKenzie reach back over 25 years when insiders in the NRA raised red flags about a transfer of over $14 million to McKenzie’s Associated Television, a production and entertainment company, according to WSJ. Members of the gun rights organization’s finance committee called the purchase “vague” and “personal” in a memo obtained by the outlet.
The sum was reportedly meant to bolster the NRA’s radio show, and $4.7 million has been given to Associated Television between 2018-2019, according to WSJ. The show, titled the “The Wayne LaPierre Radio Show,” was slammed by other NRA executives as being a vanity project for LaPierre, WSJ reported.

“The NYAG’s actions are an affront to democracy and freedom. This is an unconstitutional, premeditated attack aiming to dismantle and destroy the NRA – the fiercest defender of America’s freedom at the ballot box for decades,” Wayne LaPierre wrote in a statement on Twitter after the announcement of the lawsuit.
“The NRA is well governed, financially solvent, and committed to good governance. We’re ready for the fight. Bring it on.”
The gun-rights group has responded by filing a lawsuit of their own due to alleged political motivations.
