A devastating new report from the Department of Housing and Urban Development has exposed what critics are calling one of the most egregious examples of government waste and fraud in recent memory – $5.8 billion in questionable rental assistance payments distributed during the Biden administration, including funds allegedly sent to approximately 30,000 dead tenants.
The bombshell findings confirm what many conservatives warned about during the massive pandemic-era spending spree: taxpayer dollars were being recklessly distributed with virtually no oversight or accountability.
The Trump administration has pledged to implement stronger safeguards to prevent such waste in the future and to pursue recovery of fraudulently obtained funds wherever possible.
