GOP Report: Deal With Sacramento Mayor Was Rushed

More Local News
SACRAMENTO (AP) ― Two congressional Republicans say federal prosecutors rushed into a settlement with a nonprofit operated by Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson.

Rep. Darrell Issa of California and Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa on Friday say the settlement whitewashed a government investigation into whether the nonprofit misused federal money.

Nearly $850,000 in grants came to Johnson's St. HOPE Foundation in Sacramento through the federal AmeriCorps program. The program's inspector general criticized the deal, which was reached in April, and was fired by the White House shortly thereafter.

The White House says it acted properly in firing Gerald Walpin, citing poor performance.
