Sen. Roger Marshall’s (R-KS) chief of staff, Brent Robertson, charged $44,000 to the public over the past two years to cover travel between D.C. and his home in Lynchburg, Virginia, Politico reported on Wednesday.

The Washington Examiner reached out to Marshall’s office about those payments in June and ultimately decided against running a story on them after a spokesperson for the senator claimed at the time that the expenses did not cover trips related to his normal work commute. That claim appears to be contradicted by new information revealed by Politico .
