Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., has emerged into the spotlight amid a new ethics complaint due to his voting in favor of laws that ultimately funded millions in grants to a nonprofit climate group that pays his wife's consulting firm.
But who is his wife, Sandra Whitehouse?
Whitehouse earned her bachelor's degree at Yale University, similar to her now-senator husband, according to her LinkedIn page.
After that, she earned her master's degree at the Graduate School of Oceanography at the University of Rhode Island, studying there from 1986 to 1994.
She and Sheldon Whitehouse married in 1986 at the St. George's School Chapel in Newport, Rhode Island, according to a newspaper announcement.
The couple live in Newport and have two children, Molly and Alexander, as well as two grandchildren, according to the senator's website.
Throughout her career, Whitehouse has advised nonprofits, nongovernmental organizations, a state agency, a legislative body and private companies, according to a biography from the Atlantic Council, where she was a nonresident senior fellow at the Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security.
Her husband was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 2006. She first began working for the group at the center of the latest ethics complaint roughly two years later, in 2008.

Isn’t he the pompous jerk who was giving Bondi and Patel lectures?
What in the seven rings of cowboy hell does a “non resident senior fellow” at a non profit do besides collect a fat paycheck from the American taxpayer?

Regardless of political party, I would like to see every single one of them engaged in this type of activity made public examples of the corruption in Washington.
The best outcome would a bunch of them be prosecuted and jailed, short of that, make their crimes public and how they get voted out and publicly shamed.
The Atlantic Council is the worst of the globalist worst.
“Whites Only” Whitehouse...
Funny that everyone runs around saying “but they are non profits!” as if the board members don’t get paid. News needs to report the salaries so everyone sees the grift clearly.
I wonder if this "power couple corruption" model was the real reason for the women's lib movement so long ago? There is a sexist joke in there somewhere about having your wife help launder the money, but that's something only a sexist would say.
When you see a liberal organization or person who appears not to have any real revenue stream just know their income is from you, the taxpayers. USAID and other organizations steal you tax money and give it to liberals. Trillions and trillions of dollars of it.
Arrest him and anyone else that stole from me. Don’t care what party their with!
Way to go, Rhode Island! Sending your defective criminals to DC and insuring that US Taxpayer dollars get funneled into their spouses’ bank accounts.
Are there accounts for them in the Cayman Islands?
Yes where there’s a democrat there’s a scam not hard to find.
She took 8 years to get a lousy masters degree?!!! She must be a slow reader. Although, given this is yet another political crime family, she likely had to spend a lot of tike counting money that was criminally obtained. Move along, Citizen. There is nothing to see here.
That’s him
tike = time
Remember when Obama was a Senator from Illinois, and his wife got a $200,000 a year part-time no-show job with a hospital that was created specifically for her, and which position was never filled after she moved to Washington when Barack became president?
Yes! And you can be certain it has been going on in both parties!
It explains why Liberals and Republicans BOTH so hate Trump. He wants to choke off their grift!
And, yet, with that tiny grift they have become multi millionaires in the hundreds of million dollar range. She is a good little saver with her little pink piggy bank I’d guess.
Everyone knows you launder the money through the spouse.
It took her 8 years to get a Masters Degree???
