The Hill: Pentagon to investigate casino, strip club expenses
Congress has asked the Pentagon to investigate whether Defense Department employees billed the government for visits to casinos and strip clubs.
In a memo released this week, Michael Roark, assistant inspector general at the Pentagon, said his office would begin an audit this month at the behest of the Senate Armed Services Committee.
“Our objective is to determine whether DoD cardholders who used government travel cards at casinos and adult entertainment establishments for personal use sought or received reimbursement for the charges,” Roark wrote in the memo.
The latest investigation is a follow-up to a May report from the Pentagon inspector general on the same issue.
