According to a Friday news release from the office of Republican Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa, Ernst and Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, have referred two bureaucrats from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to Attorney General Pam Bondi calling for “immediate corrective action” over a scheme the senators say cost taxpayers approximately $20 million.
As they outlined in a letter dated Friday, Ernst and Grassley accused the bureaucrats of taking part in an “illegal scheme to misclassify human resources (HR) and other administrative positions as law enforcement.”
In other words, ATF employees who did administrative work nonetheless allegedly had their positions classified as law enforcement, which entitled them to higher salaries and benefits.
