Billions of dollars in federal spending has now been authorized to combat the Coronavirus outbreak. It’s an unprecedented response – and one that’s creating enormous opportunities for waste, fraud and abuse.
Our long experience with national emergencies teaches us that some will attempt to profit from others’ misfortune and divert large sums away from the coronavirus response. However, now more than ever, with millions of lives and livelihoods at stake, it’s essential that taxpayer dollars go to public health and other authorized purposes.
The government must take action now to ensure accountability in coronavirus spending. To aid this effort, the National Whistleblower Center has identified three key steps needed:
(1) The Trump Administration must ensure coronavirus funding is sent to its intended recipients and spent in accordance with the law;
(2) The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), in particular, must create a task force to aggressively investigate potential fraud related to coronavirus relief efforts and prioritize investigation of whistleblower complaints; and
(3) Congress must include accountability provisions and whistleblower protections in future coronavirus spending so that taxpayer dollars go to public health and other authorized purposes.
We need your help. It’s going to take all of us to keep America accountable in this crisis. So, please, write to your representatives, write to the president, write to the DOJ. Tell them we need accountability now to combat this crisis and keep the most vulnerable safe.
