- Congress says Biden has refused to provide an accurate number of total teleworking staff
- Federal employees are working from bathtubs, enjoying shooting pool and leaving early for happy hour at the same time the backlog of passports and veterans waiting months for doctor appointments continues
- More than 75 percent of the available office space at 17 different federal agencies is still empty, according to the Government Accountability Office.
- Agencies spend about $2 billion a year to operate and maintain federal office buildings and over $5 billion annually in leases.
