$1.9 billion was “misplaced” by the Biden administration, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) announced this week in detailing the startling discovery.
“$1.9 billion of HUD money was just recovered after being misplaced during the Biden administration due to a broken process,” DOGE revealed on X, posting screenshots of the receipts.
“These funds were earmarked for the administration of financial services, but were no longer needed. @SecretaryTurner and @DOGE worked together to fix the issue and de-obligated the funds which are now available for other use by the Treasury,” DOGE added.
The announcement comes on the heels of Turner announcing a DOGE task force at the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
“I’m happy to announce the DOGE task force here at HUD,” Turner, who was confirmed by the Senate earlier this month, said in a video posted to X on February 13.
