Sen. Bernie Sanders: Fraudulent Defense Contractors Paid $1 Trillion

Hundreds of defense contractors that defrauded the U.S. military received more than $1.1 trillion in Pentagon contracts during the past decade, according to a Department of Defense report prepared for Sen. Bernie Sanders.

Sanders (I-Vt.) called the report „shocking.“ He said aggressive steps must be taken to ensure taxpayer dollars aren‘t wasted.
