The Center for COVID Control is facing a fraud lawsuit filed by Minnesota's attorney general alleging a widespread COVID testing scheme.

The Biden administration is working to make COVID-19 rapid test kits more available and accessible to Americans as case numbers soar.

"They came in these trash bags, and we counted them on the floor of an office building, like where the computers are set up and everything. So we kind of had to scramble around and find a good place to count in that area. The first couple bags I counted right on the floor next to the computer," he said.

Pino, who worked at CCC headquarters from September until late December, said he was instructed to lie to customers about the their test results."The dates were absolutely getting changed. If your test was getting late, nine times out of 10 we were probably changing your date to the date your test was taken, instead of the date your test was actually being processed," former Center for COVID Control employee Tina Morales also told WLS.

"CMS identified non-compliance and is waiting on an allegation of compliance from the laboratory to address the deficiencies cited," the CMS spokesperson said.
