Carson Cancels $31K Dining Set

HUD Secretary Dr. Ben Carson is saying never mind to a $31,000 dining set for his office suite after the agency came under scrutiny for the cost of the furniture. "At the request of the Secretary, the agency is working to rescind the order for the dining room set," Communications Director Raffi Williams said in a statement. Documents produced to ABC News by HUD show that the agency spent $1,100 to try to repair the table and chairs before staff decided to purchase the more expensive replacement. But it might be too little, too late. The House Oversight Committee is already investigating. Carson tweeted Wednesday night that "there has been no dishonesty or wrongdoing" and that they plan to disclose all the information related to the purchase. As we reported earlier this week, Helen Foster -- who worked as the agency's Chief Administrative Officer -- filed a complaint with the Office of Special Counsel that she was told to approve funds to redecorate Carson's office even after she told her superiors that there was a legal $5,000 limit for decorating expenses. More here.
