What did Congressman Andy Ogles do with nearly $25,000 meant for child burial garden? He won't say

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — What did Tennessee Congressman Andy Ogles do with tens of thousands of dollars meant for a children's burial garden?

Now, NewsChannel 5 Investigates has uncovered more questions that the freshman Republican won't answer.

It's a story that goes far beyond questions about Ogles' inflated resume. It's a story that stems from a personal tragedy — the stillborn death of a child whose photo Ogles sometimes posts on his political social media — and a GoFundMe that allowed Ogles to rake in tens of thousands of dollars for what was supposed to be a children's burial garden.

Yet, what makes it a story is the fact that there is no burial garden, no one knows where their donations went, and Ogles refuses to say what he did with the money.

NewsChannel 5 Investigates reached out to Ogles' office but never heard back, so we approached the Maury County Republican as he left a recent political event.

"Congressman, this doesn't have to be a story if you just offer some evidence it went for a good cause," we told him, as he got into a truck and slammed the door.

Still, it's a story so sensitive that the people involved are reluctant to comment publicly.

One donor said he almost felt guilty about passing along the tip. Another said, "It just feels like a topic you can't touch. It's taboo."

2. Rep. Ogles' character witness is Andy Miller, presumably the same one identified as an unindicted co

Geezzzzzzzzz! This Repug Rep. has little brains when he uses this type of friend as a character witness !!


Ogles' character witness is Andy Miller, presumably the same one identified as an unindicted co-conspirator in the federal indictment that led former state Sen. Brian Kelsey to plead guilty to campaign finance crimes.

Ogles picked Andy Miller to refute the claim of fraud.

Andy Miller pled guilty to defrauding the federal government out of millions of dollars.

You can't makes this up!

@NC5PhilWilliams
UPDATE: We gave @AndyOgles
a chance to tell us in advance what he did with the money.
He refused.
Now, he puts out a statement to @TheTNStar
, portraying himself as a victim and saying people should believe him that he used the money to help other families.
He offers no proof.
