Trump Administration Federal Grant Oversight Under Fire After $32 Billion ‘Accidentally’ Sent to Ghost Nonprofits
A newly released audit reveals that the Trump administration’s federal grant oversight system mistakenly routed $32 billion in taxpayer funds to 4,700 unregistered or defunct nonprofit organizations over two years. The error, attributed to outdated software and a lack of routine verification, went unnoticed until a whistleblower in the Treasury Department flagged the discrepancies. Critics claim this is the largest accidental payout in U.S. history, while the White House blames a “temporary system glitch” and vows to recover the funds. Social media users are sharing a mock invoice for the missing money, but the real audit document remains sealed. Is this a genuine scandal or a doctored spreadsheet? Experts warn the story is true, but the $32 billion figure is unconfirmed.
