Last June, local prosecutor Wesley Bell called Rep. Cori Bush to assure her that under no circumstances would he be running against her, according to audio of a phone call between Bell and Bush obtained by Drop Site News.
A few months later, he launched his primary challenge against Bush for the Missouri House seat after being recruited by AIPAC.
