MAGA lawmaker says his kid still has 'nightmares' about 'big, bad Biden'

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) took to Fox Business Wednesday to complain about his phone being confiscated by law enforcement in 2024 as part of a federal probe into his campaign finance filings, an incident so impactful, he claimed, that his child “still has nightmares” about former President Joe Biden.

“The impact that has on your family... my little one still has nightmares, afraid that his dad is gonna be taken away by big, bad Biden and his Department of Justice,” Ogles told Fox Business’ Maria Bartiromo. “That should never happen again!”

Ogles was the subject of a federal investigation for indicating in his campaign finance filings that he had loaned his 2022 campaign $320,000, only to later amend that figure to $20,000. Ogles claimed it to be a mistake, and that he had “originally meant to ‘pledge’ $320,000 toward his campaign,” but that the pledge was “mistakenly included in his campaign reports,” the Associated Press previously reported.

As part of that probe, Ogles’ phone was confiscated by law enforcement, though as recently as last week, the Justice Department agreed to return Ogles’ phone and to "destroy the information it had obtained from it,” The Washington Post reported.
