WEDNESDAY: Democrats to Hold Hearing on DHS Corruption Schemes Enriching Trump Allies with Taxpayer Dollars
(WASHINGTON) – Next Wednesday, March 25, Ranking Member Bennie G. Thompson (D-MS) and Committee on Homeland Security Democrats will hold a Democratic forum in Washington, DC, examining how Donald Trump and Kristi Noem’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has used taxpayer dollars to enrich political allies through shady, insider-driven contracts.
Members will hear from government watchdogs and policy experts about what these spending decisions reveal about DHS leadership and the Trump administration – as well as the broader risks to accountability, oversight, and public trust. This forum will be streamed online.
“As new details continue to come to light, it is clear that DHS leadership has treated taxpayer dollars like a political slush fund for well-connected insiders,” said Ranking Member Bennie G. Thompson. “This shadow hearing will help expose how these schemes were carried out, who benefited, and what must be done to restore accountability and protect the integrity of our government.”
