Former tRump Aide Gets No-Bid Contract Then Fails to Deliver...

A leading Democrat on the House Oversight Committee asked an inspector general on Tuesday to investigate how a former deputy chief of staff to President
Trump received a multimillion-dollar contract to deliver respirators to a Native American community hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic.

The request by Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., signals that Democrats intend to aggressively oversee how the Trump administration is disbursing the trillions of
dollars allocated by Congress for coronavirus relief measures for individuals, corporations and small businesses.

Connolly pressed Christi Grimm, principal deputy inspector general of the Department of Health and Human Services and the sole witness at the briefing, to begin
looking into how the former White House aide, Zachary Fuentes, came to receive a $3 million contract despite lacking expertise in medical device procurement.

Less than two weeks after forming a company called Zach Fuentes LLC, Fuentes received the $3 million contract to provide the masks. Doctors, nurses and other
hospital staff need the equipment to protect themselves from being infected with the coronavirus. Surgical masks also provide some protection against airborne
viral particles, but are inferior to N95 respirators.

According to ProPublica, “247,000 of the masks delivered by Fuentes’ company — at a cost of roughly $800,000 — may be unsuitable for medical use. An additional
130,400, worth about $422,000, are not the type specified in the procurement data.” Information on the allegedly faulty masks provided by Zach Fuentes LLC was
made available to ProPublica by the Indian Health Service, which oversees health care on Native American lands.

Fuentes could not be reached for comment.
