Government audit: Carson’s $40K office purchases broke law
Priceless in so many ways!!!
Another unqualified Trump appointee runs afoul of the law. HOW UNUSUAL!!
When his actions are pointed out to him. Carson THROWS HIS WIFE UNDER THE BUS!! This seems to be a character trait of the new Republican Party.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson violated the law when his department spent more than $40,000 to purchase a dining set and a dishwasher for his office’s executive dining room, government auditors concluded.
In a report released Thursday, the Government Accountability Office said HUD failed to notify Congress before exceeding a $5,000 limit set by Congress to furnish or make improvements to the office of a presidential appointee. The dining set cost more than $31,000 and the dishwasher cost nearly $9,000.
Carson told lawmakers last year that he was unaware of the purchase and canceled it as soon as he learned about it in news reports. He also told a House Appropriations subcommittee that he left furniture purchasing decisions to his wife.
