Debbie Dingell on Freedom 250 Donors: ‘We Don’t Know How the Money Is Being Spent’

RUSH EXCERPT:
DINGELL: "What the staff did that did the work in this in the committee found there are two committees. In 216, Congress passed the America 250th committee, which was a bipartisan effort so that all of us can celebrate this. It is a very important and significant date. When the president returned and became president again, he tried to fire four people that were part of that commission. He didn’t succeed and then set up what is also known as freedom. 250 a separate committee, but they set up the funding of it through the national park foundation, which is a well-established foundation that has worked hard to build its own credibility and support the public parks over the years. And in addition, Congress had appropriated 150 million for the America 250 commission. And in the end, keeping this long report short, instead of getting 150, that commission got 25 million, and the other 125 has gone other places. We don’t know how the money is being spent. Their donors that thought they were giving to a bipartisan effort that ended up giving to freedom. 250 and there are many other stories of what happened in Washington, and you’ve been showing some of it on miss this week."
