Trump may have been the dirtiest member of his administration, but he was hardly the only one.

Watchdog: 2 Trump EPA appointees defrauded agency of $130K


     Two high-ranking Trump political appointees at the Environmental

 

Protection Agency engaged in fraudulent payroll activities — including

 

payments to employees after they were fired and to one of the

 

officials when he was absent from work — that cost the agency more

 

than $130,000, a report by an internal watchdog says.

 

     Former chief of staff Ryan Jackson and former White House liaison

 

Charles Munoz submitted “official timesheets and personnel forms

 

that contained materially false, fictitious, and fraudulent statements”

 

to mislead EPA personnel and facilitate improper payments over

 

multiple months, according to a report by EPA’s Office of Inspector

 

General.
