CNN: Pentagon Credit Cards Used for Gambling, Prostitutes
STARR: "Here is how it's supposed to work. You go on a trip, Pentagon employee person. You use your government credit card. You're supposed to file for reimbursement for legitimate government expenses, not supposed to use it for personal expenses. Just like CNN when employees travel. They have had this problem before. I'm sure the Senator will address it. Has more aggressive oversight.
This time this audit showing a very small percentage but still some people still putting those personal charges on their government credit card. What needs to be found out is how many of them tried to get government reimbursement for it. Many of them we've learned have already paid back the charges or paid for it themselves. Why do people do this sort of thing?
One of the theories is when they have these expenses, if they put it on their government card, the bill doesn't come to the House. Their spouses don't see these questionable charges, and they go ahead and reimburse the government. It's not supposed to happen this way.
A short time ago, a Pentagon spokesman told me we are going back through all of this, getting the money back from people and that there have been some disciplinary actions. But still, after all these years, people still trying to hide those charges."
