Clinton’s State Department Blew $6 Billion In Contracts, And We’re About To Learn Why
- Modifications and task orders were awarded to a company owned by the spouse of the State Department official managing the $52 million contract. The contract’s file was missing documentation reflecting those modifications and task orders, an IG investigation uncovered.
- A State Department contracting officer on a contract valued at $100 million falsified technical review information and provided the contractor with advance pricing information.
- Forty-eight of the 82 files the IG reviewed related to $2.1 billion in contracts supporting the U.S. mission in Iraq lacked required documentation.
- None of the files reviewed by the IG for eight contracts issued by the department’s Bureau of African Affairs and valued at $34.8 million contained required documentation.
What? Me Worry? Hell it’s only $6 billion.
