State legislators met at the Arkansas State Capitol on Tuesday afternoon to discuss the findings of an audit report into the purchase of a podium by the office of Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
That report found at least seven instances of potential violations of state law related to the purchase of the podium and its transfer to the Republican Party of Arkansas .
Much of the meeting revolved around lawmakers questioning staff members of the governor's office and the attorney general's office regarding specific findings in the 68-page report. "You cannot correct a mistake until you admit you made one. And what troubles me most about this whole situation is that I don't really hear the governor's office or governor staff saying we should have done it a different way. Instead, they're trying to justify how they did it," said State Senator John Payton .
The Governor's office claims they followed all rules and guidelines laid out by state law while purchasing the podium.
