Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., is demanding answers from Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson about allegations of lavish spending furniture for his office and retaliation against an agency employee.
The chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee sent a letter to Carson on Wednesday in response to a complaint filed with the Office of Special Counsel by Helen Foster, a HUD employee who claimed she was ousted from her position and then transferred because she refused to find a way to go above the spending cap to redecorate Carson’s office with the purchase of an approximately $31,000 dining-room set late last year.
The letter requests that Carson provide all documents and communications pertaining to Foster and the redecoration of Carson’s office, among other items.
