President Joe Biden’s administration should seek nearly $100,000 that a former government official was found to have improperly used, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said on Aug. 4.
The illegal spending was first highlighted by Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER). According to the group, the money used for the travel “came out of the small fund for deploying investigators to the scene of industrial explosions, fires, and other accidents.” The group has also called on the agency to recoup the funds.
