The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has managed almost $ 10 billion during the COVID Pandemic, has unveiled a government audit.
The shocking report discovered that $ 1.5 billion was spent on the medical staff of one state, plus $ 8.1 billion in 'demand costs' and another $ 32.8 million on 'incorrect payment'.
This is after President Trump Fema's Chief Financial Officer Mary Comans dramatically dismissed after the agency was revealed that the agency paid an eye-watery $ 59 million in luxury hotels in New York City to accommodate illegal immigrants.
The January audit by the Department of Homeland Security concentrated on FEMA's handling of the pandemic between January 2020 and 2023.
It discovered that FEMA had managed billions of dollars incorrectly and “did not follow the established requirements in providing public aid financing.”
This included handing out $ 1.5 billion in one state – which did not mention it – without the right control and which 'could have been used better for other disasters'.
The report said: “These problems took place as a result of the unprecedented circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 Pandemie and FEMA that are not established requirements for providing public aid financing.”

It also discovered $ 8.1 billion distributed by FEMA, who are 'costs that have not yet been established' and have identified $ 32.8 million in 'incorrect payments'.
The new findings of financial maladministration only come a few days after Elon Musk and his Doge team found out that Fema sent payments of $ 59 million to luxury hotels in New York City to house migrants.
Musk has said that the agency, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), needs action to get the money back.
It is unclear whether the question will be met, but if so, FEMA could recover the millions in already divided funds.
“Sending this money has violated the law and is in gross insubordination to the executive order of the president,” Musk wrote on his X platform on Monday.
He added: “That money is intended for American disaster relief and is spent instead of high -end hotels for illegal immigrants!”
In response to the findings of the Musk, Fema's Chief Financial Officer Mary Comans lost its job.
“FEMA effectively ends the employment of four people for circumventing leadership to make unilateral payments for luxury NYC hotels for migrants,” said Assistant -DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin in a statement.
“Fire atmosphere includes the financial officer of FEMA, two program analysts and a subsidy specialist,” she noticed.
Comans and her team are perhaps the most powerful group at FEMA because they control his billions of dollars in financing.
Assistant secretary McLaughlin said that her boss, DHS secretary Kristi, would continue to take action to ensure that Trump's orders are followed by her department and the agencies that fall under it.

“The leadership of President Trump and Secretary Name will not be unemployed and allow deep state activists to undermine the will and safety of the American people,” said McLaughlin in a statement to DailyMail.com.
Musk has hinted that a week after the thousands of employees with USAID (United States Agency for International Development) woke up, it was closed to make e -mails that instructed them to stay at home because the Washington headquarters, the DC – head office, was closed.
Others were shocked to be out of their work systems last week – and those overseas were told that trips back to the US would be arranged within 30 days.
FEMA could be the following on the chopping block, but it evokes concern for those who are concerned about Americans who are confronted with emergency situations and natural disasters will no longer receive much needed government support in the future.
The agency falls under the goal of DHS Secretary Kristi. The former governor of South Dakota said on Sunday that if Trump asked her to Fema, she would recommend that he 'lost' the desk.
Former President Joe Biden was confronted with a recoil for housing migrants in hotels instead of spending money on arrest and deportation efforts.
Biden also spent funds offering other assistance to illegal immigrants, including giving mobile phones.

FEMA was also central to controversy last year when it was also excited for an overall slow and overwhelming response to the deadly and destructive hurricanes that hit the Eest Coast.
Marn'i Washington was a FEMA supervisor who claims that she was fired as a scapegoat because the agency claimed that she instructed independent employees in Florida to avoid doing streets that are known to support Trump more.
Washington told DailyMail.com that she has 'information that proves that FEMA is lying' and that the agency told employees to avoid more 'hostile' areas in the aftermath of Hurricane Milton in Florida.
She claims that FEMA has also told employees not to approach houses with Trump signs in North Carolina.
