Trump administration siphoned almost $4 million from 9/11 first responders fund: report - MarketWatch
"The National Institute for Occupational Health and Safety (NIOHS) oversees the FDNY World Trade Center Health Program. The Daily News reports that the Treasury started keeping some of the money earmarked for this program — to the tune of about half a million dollars each year in 2016 and 2017, and $630,000 each year in 2018 and 2019. And the Treasury has nearly tripled these extractions this year, withholding $1.447 million through late August, according to Dr. David Prezant, the program director."
Anyone surprised?
“It’s disgraceful,” King (R - NY) told the newspaper.
