Puerto Rico Hits Trump’s Administration Where It Hurts By Canceling Corrupt Whitefish Contract

ABC News reported:

The contract, which did not allow government oversight or audits was one of the most brazen attempts at corruption carried out by the Trump administration. FEMA immediately distanced themselves from the deal, as tiny Whitefish Energy was unqualified to handle such a massive project and only appears to have landed the contract because they are located in Trump Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke’s hometown, and the owners of the company which has two full-time employees were Trump donors.

The deal was so corrupt that no one would take responsibility for it once the contract became public.

The Trump administration’s malevolent treatment and neglect of the crisis in Puerto Rico were made even worse by such acts of overt corruption. A humanitarian crisis of unimaginable proportions was used by people affiliated with and supporting this administration to line their own pockets.

Trump and his administration aren’t in power to govern. Their goal is to use every opportunity to pillage the taxpayers’ coffers.
