Biden's DEA Chief Under Investigation For Allegedly Handing Out Massive No-Bid Contracts To Past Colleagues

 The Biden administration's Drug Enforcement Administration chief is under investigation for allegedly handing no-bid contracts worth millions of dollars to previous colleagues, The Associated Press reported Thursday, citing sources familiar with the probe.

The Justice Department's Office of Inspector General is conducting the investigation after at least a dozen employees, including some of DEA Administrator Anne Milgram's previous associates, were hired under the contracts, according to the AP. One portion of the probe centers around $4.7 million for "Strategic planning and communication" contracts handed to Milgram's previous colleagues from the New Jersey attorney general's office and at New York University, where she served as a professor, that exceeded the pay for government employees.

The seal of the Drug Enforcement Administration is seen on a lectern before the start of a press conference at DEA Headquarters on June 26, 2013 in Arlington, Virginia.

The OIG's office couldn't be reached for comment.
