MAXIMILLIAN ALVAREZ: All right, welcome everyone to Working People, a podcast about the lives, jobs, dreams and struggles of the working class today. Working People is a proud member of the Labor Radio Podcast Network and is brought to you in partnership with In These Times and The Real News Network. This show is produced by Jules Taylor and made possible by the support of listeners like you. My name is Maximillian Alvarez, and we’ve got an explosive story for y’all today.
Whistleblowers working in the federal government are going public with an emergency alarm message from within the Department of Housing and Urban Development. According to their formal whistleblower complaint, which they have already filed with Senator Elizabeth Warren from Massachusetts who herself will be formally notifying HUD Inspector General Brian D. Harrison and requesting the contained charges be thoroughly investigated, “HUD leadership has already violated the law and taken actions that will result in legal violations, gross mismanagement, gross waste of funds and present a specific danger to public health and safety.”
The complaints were filed by four attorneys and staff workers at HUD’s Office of General Counsel and Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity. In their first on-air appearance, we are speaking with two of those four whistleblowers here on The Real News. They are speaking with us on their own behalf, not on behalf of HUD or any office they’re in.
Welcome to you both. Thank you...
