and his wife Jane Sanders have hired lawyers amid an FBI investigation into a loan Jane obtained to expand Burlington College while she was its president.
Jane Sanders served as president of Burlington College from 2004 to 2011, reports the Huffington Post.
She has been accused of falsely inflating projected donor contributions in the loan application, reports said.
The probe is looking into whether Jane falsified bank documents in 2010 in an attempt to secure a $10m loan to expand the college’s campus.
According to Politico magazine, the FBI probe may also look into whether Bernie Sanders used his political influence to pressurise the bank to approve the loan which was a factor in the school shuttering its doors in 2016 after it found itself unable to pay off its debt.
