The controversy surrounding Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, known as 'LecternGate', involves her office's alleged misuse of state funds for a $20,000 lectern. State investigators have completed their investigation and referred their findings to a criminal prosecutor. The audit report highlighted potential violations of Arkansas law in the purchase of the lectern and the management of related government records. Arkansas lawmakers have also questioned her staff regarding the issue. In response, Governor Sanders has publicly contested the claims, asserting her right to the lectern in a defiant social media post.
