The Trump administration has failed to manage and negotiate contracts for enthusiasts, either before or during the coronavirus pandemic, according to a report by the House Oversight and Reform Committee led by Democrats. The report points out the administration’s mistakes to supply enthusiasts and says the administration has wasted up to $500 million on public funds.
“The Americans were ripped off and Donald Trump and his team were taken to the cleanup,” said Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, chairman of the economic and client policy subcommittee. “The Trump administration’s mismanagement of the nation’s inventory enthusiast has accused other Americans of the worst public fitness crisis of our generation. Billions of dollars that could have been used to further assist our country’s crisis response efforts.”
Trump, who first complained that governors were looking for too many enthusiasts, cited the country’s production and acquisition of enthusiasts as an example of his administration’s good fortune in fighting the virus. Health experts and hospitals suggested that the Trump administration do more to address the shortage of fans, as the world was still learning which is the most productive to fight the virus. Since then, hospitals have used more equipment to fight COVID-19, such as beating patients with their stomachs.
Trump’s management nevertheless agreed to pay $15,000 each for Trilogy EV300 enthusiasts, after Phillips was unable to supply the 10,000 Tri Evology Universal enthusiasts ordered through the Obama administration in 2014 for $3280 each, according to the report. The report states that enthusiasts are functionally the same.
The White House responded to the report by calling it “nothing more than a trick that aims to politicize the coronavirus.”
“Thanks to the president’s leadership, the United States is the world leader in the production and acquisition of fans,” said White House spokesman Judd Deere. “No American who needed a fan was denied one, and no American who wants a long-term fan will be denied one. Democrats are ashamed of this misleading and erroneous report.”
In 2014, Obama’s management hired Phillips to obtain the national inventory of 10,000 enthusiasts through June 2019. Obama’s management despite all of Phillips’ legality and the extent that would have required the creation of all enthusiasts until November 2019, which was even earlier the coronavirus pandemic began.
Phillips continued to endure until 2017 and 2018, the first two years of the Trump administration, and the report says the administration has mis handled Phillips’ failure to comply with its obligations. The Trump administration granted Phillips 3 additional extensions, allowing enthusiasts to finish in June 2021.
On January 21, 2020, the company approached management to discuss the acceleration of fans under the existing contract. When the Department of Health and Human Services responded six weeks later, it agreed to an additional extension, which ran until September 2022.
Peter Navarro, the president’s most sensible business adviser, negotiated a new contract with Phillips in which management agreed to pay the bankrupt company nearly five times the value of the enthusiasts compared to the previous contract, the report notes. According to documents exposed through the committee, management gave the impression of conforming to Phillips’ first offer for enthusiasts without attempting to negotiate.
The most sensible Republicans on the committee and the oversight subcommittee, Rep. James Comer and Rep. Michael Cloud, called the report incredibly misleading.
“The most recent democratic report shows that they will back down from anything in their never-ending quest to politicize this pandemic. After months of Democratic governors who have called for more fanatics, Congressional Democrats are now dissatisfied with the administration’s successful efforts to forge itself temporarily. be offering to use fans,” Comer and Cloud said in a joint statement.
