Governor Sanders faces backlash over $19,000 lectern purchase

Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders is facing criticism over spending $19,000 on a lectern for her office.

The purchase came to light after a records request, and Sanders' office was later reimbursed by the state Republican Party.

A whistleblower has accused Sanders' office of altering records related to the spending.

The state Legislature is considering an audit of the lectern purchase.

Critics say the spending controversy is a distraction from Sanders' policy agenda as governor.
