MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — Federal investigators are looking into the finances behind a real estate deal for a now-defunct college put together by the wife of U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, and she has hired a lawyer to look after her interests, a family spokesman confirmed on Monday.
The investigation, first reported by the news website Vtdigger.com, is looking into allegations that Jane O'Meara Sanders made fraudulent claims and promises while seeking $10 million in financing for the real estate deal.
The complaint against Jane Sanders was filed in early 2016 by attorney Brady Toensing, who served as the Vermont campaign chairman for Donald Trump during his run for president as a Republican. In a separate complaint, Toensing alleged that Bernie Sanders' senatorial office pressured a bank to approve the loan.(snip)
Asked about the allegations Monday at a Washington press conference on expanding community health centers, Sanders sought to keep the questions on health care.
"No, that's not what I'm talking about today," Sanders said when an Associated Press reporter attempted to ask him about the FBI's investigation.
Sanders then chided a Fox News reporter also seeking to question him on the issue, saying, "I'm glad that you're interested in the fact that the Republican leadership is proposing legislation which would throw millions of people off of health insurance and give hundreds of billions of dollars in tax breaks to the top 1 percent."
The Sanders' spokesman, Jeff Weaver, who was the senator's 2016 presidential campaign manager, said the allegations that prompted the investigation were politically motivated attacks.

Crooked, Corrupt Communist Bernie and wife!
BOOM!
“No, that’s not what I’m talking about today,” Sanders said when an Associated Press reporter attempted to ask him about the FBI’s investigation.
Sanders then chided a Fox News reporter also seeking to question him on the issue, saying, “I’m glad that you’re interested in the fact that the Republican leadership is proposing legislation which would throw millions of people off of health insurance and give hundreds of billions of dollars in tax breaks to the top 1 percent.”
If I were the Fox guy, I would have said to this criminal grifter, “That’s not the question I’m asking today...I’m asking questions about your probable felony.”
See Bernie run! See Jane lie and cheat. Run Bernie run!
They did it “For the People”, dontchaknow.
While they’re at it, why don’t they knock on Harry Reid’s door?
Plenty of corruption there as well I’m sure.
Looks a lot like the Bern will soon be referred to as the Ern, for having earned a prison sentence.
No way can Bernie plead politics in this instance. He can try, but the FDIC is one of the few remaining institutions that has retained its credibility.
This is why the heathen rage.
Oooooh, this is interesting!
“Democrats had a million crooked deals like this, and none of them were ever going to see the light of day if Hillary got elected.”
Amen.
I believe that account of Hillary with her team on election night, going into an almost hysterical rage and hollering at them, “...if he wins, we’ll all hang from nooses!!!”
Feel the Bern, Feel the Bern
Feel the BURN you Commie, thieving SOB’s!
