WASHINGTON, Sept. 14 (UPI) -- U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., used $33,700 from her Senate account to pay for 43 campaign flights, an internal investigation has found.
The three-term senator came under fire earlier this month from the Louisiana Republican Party, which accused her of not having a permanent address in the state she serves. The party also suspected she illegally used taxpayer money to fund her campaign travel.
