Defense Department shelled out millions of dollars on pricey seafood in a mad dash to use up the last of its budget by the end of the fiscal year, according to a new report from government watchdog OpenTheBooks.com.
The report also looked at spending by Health and Human Services, Veterans Affairs, and the Executive Office of the President. Altogether, the agencies racked up roughly $97 billion in contract spending — primarily on weapons, which accounted for $818.1 million. Furniture, food, and marketing and public relations accounted for more than $400 million each.
The 32-page report identifies a laundry list of other seemingly nonessential items, including a fidget spinner toy and a Wexford leather club chair with a $9,241 price tag.
