Dem under fire for ‘ghost employee’ in illegal server scandal

Dem under fire for ‘ghost employee’ in illegal server scandal:

U.S. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, D-Mo. – a former co-chair of Hillary Clinton’s Missouri campaign and co-chair of her national Faith Steering Committee who delivered a fiery speech praising Clinton at the Democratic National Convention – is accused of paying an unqualified former McDonald’s employee, Rao Abbas, to be his IT aide, according to an ethics complaint filed Wednesday by the ethics watchdog Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust, or FACT.
The organization accuses Cleaver of grossly misusing House resources by giving the funds to Abbas for IT work he never performed – and for allowing Awan, a non-employee who is now facing bank-fraud charges, to perform IT services."
