Today, a non-profit watchdog group, the Campaign for Accountability (CFA), sent a letter to the United States Attorney in Nashville requesting a criminal investigation of Tennessee House Speaker Cameron Sexton (R). The request, which was also sent to the Tennessee District Attorney, centers on whether Sexton sought and received excessive per diem expenses. The group asks the officials to "immediately investigate whether Mr. Sexton has violated any state or federal criminal laws, including felony theft, honest services fraud, and tax fraud."
The heroes of the Fourth Estate are coming to our rescue. While the legacy media gets stodgy and loses its edge, a new generation of gumshoe reporters is digging and writing. Substack has freed them from editors and the C suite - they are telling the stories that need to be heard. Keep digging, Judd.
Good one Judd. Gave it to old Sexton right smack in the kisser! He sees no evil, no infractions or harassment, no nothing and he approves his own thievery at the tax-free rate no less. He needs to be removed from office, as I doubt that he will willingly step down.
Sexton isn't the only one and say, did you hear about Gorsuch and HIS murky real estate deals? The RW party of constant criminals parties on.
I am getting a better return on investment with my monthly subscription to your Substack than any other investment I have.
Maybe “truth, justice and the American way” wasn’t just a lead-in to my favorite TV show in the 50s. Superman’s alter ego IS a mild mannered reporter, but not Clark Kent. It is Judd Legum. Thank you for restoring my faith in investigative journalism.
When it comes to stories like this, I am fully bipartisan. Democrat or Republican matters not. This is the type of stuff we need regardless of party. Maybe we need to look at enhanced charges and penalties for people in public office. They need to be held to even higher standards.
Congratulations! How satisfying to see results from your hard work. Let’s hope both the U.S. Attorney and the Tennessee District Attorney move swiftly. We look forward to hearing more. Thank you, Judd.
And to think, with the serious business of defrauding voters over residency violations, Sexton got caught nickel & diming with per diem dollars. What an idiot among swaggering bullies of the corrupt GOP. . .
Judd: What a joy to wake up and read your reporting. Sexton does what he wants and likes it that way. To see transparency is wonderful. Very best to you and your team.
Sexton is a good ol’ boy who thinks he is untouchable. His lies and deceit have caught up with him. Thank you Judd for starting the investigation that could be his undoing.

Another good job, Judd! Can't wait to see how this plays out. Keep shining that bright light on these miscreants, the country needs your help.

Sexton invited this level of scrutiny with his overreach re the Tennessee Three. It would be all too fitting to see him expelled in his own right.
It’s nice to see your great reporting getting some results, well done!

Thank you for the excellent investigation and reporting. Let those wheels of Justice turn.
Masterwork as usual
