No more blank checks and no more asking permission

To: Sen. Kelly, Sen. Gallego, Rep. Stanton

From: A constituent in Chandler, AZ

November 13

Scott Dworkin: Let me show you what “still investigating” looked like this week. The regime gave a contract to screen travelers for Ebola to a company that, as ProPublica reported, is backed by a fund linked to Trump’s sons. The company’s CEO said it won through competitive bidding. So I pulled the government’s own records and checked. This is what I found: The government’s record says “NOT COMPETED.” Only one offer came in. When the government skips the bidding, it has to post a form explaining why. I found that form. It’s five pages long, and every line is blank. There’s no company name, no dollar amount, no reason and no signature. The company signed a deal to sell this business on the very same day it signed the contract. On November 6, the CDC chose to put in $16.7 million more. That was nine days after shareholders approved the sale. The company’s own filing says its chairman, its CEO and its chief financial officer stand to collect commissions on that contract’s profits once the sale closes. That’s your tax money going to a company tied to Trump’s sons, with no competitive bidding, and the form that’s supposed to explain it is empty. Most of this isn’t in today’s edition. I haven’t seen the blank form or the November 6 money reported anywhere else.
