Here's why the feds are investigating Bernie Sanders' wife Jane

The wife of Sen. Bernie Sanders is under federal investigation for her role in a land deal that went bad, and the Vermont senator has slammed reports of the investigation as "pathetic" and believes his wife to be "the most honest person I know."
Because Sanders hasn't ruled out a presidential run in 2020, any federal investigation has the potential to become disastrous or, at the very least, politically embarrassing. And because the scandal touches on the themes of education costs and six-figure severance packages – two issues that were central to Sanders' populist message – discussing the investigations at all could tarnish his brand as a champion of the little guy.
