Republicans Claim Sanders Used Senate Office To Help Wife At Burlington College
By TAYLOR DOBBS • MAY 26, 2016
Vermont Republican Party Vice Chairman Brady Toensing called on Sen. Bernie Sanders this week to release documents related to the senator’s involvement in a financing deal his wife secured for Burlington College while she was president of the alternative liberal arts college.
Earlier this year, Toensing called for a federal investigation of Jane Sanders involved in securing financing for the college. He alleges that she committed federal loan fraud by overstating the amount of money the college could raise to pay for a property purchased from the Catholic Diocese of Burlington in 2010.
This week, Toensing also wrote a letter to Sanders, calling on him to “publicly release all documents concerning Burlington College and your [Sen. Sanders’] involvement with a loan application submitted by your wife, as President of Burlington College, to a federally-insured bank for a $10 million property transaction.
