The FBI is reportedly investigating misconduct and corruption allegations involving Democrat Tiffany Henyard, a small-town Illinois politician.

Henyard serves as mayor of Dolton, Illinois, a small village south of Chicago, and the supervisor of Thornton Township. She made headlines earlier this month when she lashed out at Dolton trustees for questioning her lavish spending habits. Questioning her spending, Henyard asserted, is akin to "attacking a black woman in power."

Despite the village being millions of dollars in debt, Henyard has allegedly used taxpayer funds for extravagant trips, fine dining, first-class travel, self-promotion, her personal charity, and an expensive police detail, according to WGN-TV. All the while, Henyard rakes in a salary of nearly $300,000.
