WASHINGTON, May 6 (UPI) — A federal audit has found that some employees at the Pentagon used government-issued credit cards to pay for things like gambling and prostitutes, a source close to the investigation reportedly said.
The audit, reported by Politico on Wednesday, was conducted by the Pentagon’s inspector general and found that a number of defense employees used the cards for such activities.
The inspector general’s office is expected to release findings of the audit later this month.
The probe reportedly found numerous instances of civilian and military defense personnel using their government-issued credit cards for gambling and various “adult entertainment”while in Las Vegas and Atlantic City.
However, the official cited in Politico’s report did not know whether the federal government actually ended up paying for those activities — since defense employees pay the credit card bills and later ask for reimbursement. In fact, the source said, it’s possible the employees did pay for the activities out of their own pocket and only used their government credit cards to hide the activities from their spouses.
This is my prediction for the Jade Helm credit cards, too.
“…since defense employees pay the credit card bills and later ask for reimbursement.”
Only because drug dealers don’t take credit cards.
