The Department of Housing and Urban Development spent more than $31,000
on a new table and chairs for the dining room adjacent to Secretary Ben Carson's
office — revelations that came just months after an official that
warned against high expenses was moved to a new role within the
department.
The former senior HUD official, Helen Foster, has since filed a
complaint that she was demoted in retaliation for raising concerns about
granting extra funds to redecorate Carson's office and other issues
within the department.
"Its a real shame that an agency that is supposed to be looking after
the poorest of the poor are more interested in looking after what their
office looks like," Foster told ABC News in an interview.
