A DHS spokesperson said Wolf was not aware of the contracts until he was contacted by the media.
"At no time in any of his positions since joining DHS has Acting Secretary Wolf been involved in awarding any contracts," the spokesperson said."Even if he were involved with the procurement process for this particular contract, which he was not, he would have had to recuse himself due to even the appearance of impropriety."
Kyle Herrig, founder and president of Accountable.US, a left-leaning watchdog group, said the $6 million in contracts may be a conflict of interest.Herrig also noted that the largest asset listed on Wolf's federal financial disclosure form is his wife's $1.1 million retirement account at Berkeley Research Group.
"After Mr. Wolf joined DHS, it began pumping millions of dollars into his wife's firm, which also happens to be his largest financial asset," Herrig said."The arrangement is highly problematic and warrants congressional scrutiny."According to USA Spending, Berkeley Research Group's contracts with DHS are for"Information Technology Software," but it is not known what specific software was provided or to what component of DHS.
During his confirmation hearing, Wolf is likely to be asked about his role in the Trump administration's zero tolerance policy, which separated migrant parents and children in 2018; sending federal agents to protests in Portland, Oregon; and a whistleblower's complaint that DHS intentionally downplayed Russia's interference in the coming presidential election.
MORE corruption.
Drain the swamp! Wait, change that. Keep AMERICA Great!
Come on people, WTF is going on here !!... enough is enough !!
From what I've seen in Pennsyltucky, we're probably in for four more years of out in the open corruption.
Y’ALL GOT NOTHING but BS ALL DAY EVERY DAY!
Another day in Trumpville, another grift. Had enough?
“Look, Canada is NOT the only country with ethics violation.” Trudeau can now justify the Telford & WEVharity scams. The USA is as screwed as Canada.
But of course....

Probably the tip of the iceberg.

And the corruption continues unabated. GOPCorruptionOverCountry TheFleecingOfAmerica
Illegally Acting Secretary
Too busy putting the money in stacks to pay much attention.
And nothing will happen.
This is just so exhausting.
It’s all a gigantic grift. The entire right wing of this country.
Monctonscout more corruption by the GOP
Good time to note he’s dodging his Congressional subpoena.
IntlMergers Good. We have learned from the best - the Democrats. trainwriter1957 longbmark
Who’s surprised by this? Anyone? Didn’t think so. Trump and his crooks are raking in all the money they can scheme out of people before their booted out of DC. Let’s investigate all of them starting with Trump
Impeach and jail him
Now do the Obama administration and top Democrats. Oh and Biden and China.
swimmerbr78 The corruption in Trump’s swamp is of a level nobody has ever seen before. We will have to drain the swamp and backfill it with patriotic soil enriched with constitutional rights that will fully block anything like Trump from happening again!
realDonaldTrump CorruptAndComplicitGOP trumpiscorrupt
Graft and corruption right out in the open.
Corruption TrumpIsCorrupt GOPCorruptionOverCountry
It's easy to rob the candy store when you're burning it to the ground.
Now do Feinstein, Pelosi, yadda yadda
Everybody gets a cut.
Nothing to see here … just move along.
Always corruption with this administration... always.
SonyaJohns 200,000 people are Dead , that did not have die . Just because a crew of people Knew, but failed to tell the truth. They decided to Lie and they did not care if people would die. What's sad is they did not even Try. Pray for those who lost a love one because of the no Leadership
So what I’d rather him give it to firm he trusts then some firm that controlled by foreigners. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
It’s what the forgotten men of rural Pennsylvania wanted.
DrAiN tHe SwAmP
And the criminal enterprise just grows and grows.
You have a platform. Say it loud and often.
Well hell what could possibly go wrong in this situation. You know like the president's Rich buddy that got stimulus money bought a Lamborghini hit the strip clubs. I'm sure that 6M dollars will go to help home land security when it's in their personal accounts. Imagine that
As far as contractors go, I’m sure she was the most qualified to be his wife.
Business as usual in trump's administration.
So the corruption is right out front now? Good to know. And surprising how many Americans just don't seem to give a shit.
How the fuck is this even possible?!
My, my, my... Nothing new here People. Just Trump's ass kisser getting over on poor tax payers hard earned money. Are they also getting a HUGE tax break?
MomRovin icymi
The trump admin. Is corrupt .
Just another Trump Swamp story.
Great that sues so actively caring out his goals to protect our nation. It really is a family effort.
I am now convinced that every member of the GOP is both a liar and a crook. They need to be defeated and prosecuted just to restore our democracy. Rule of law demands GOP jail and maybe execution. After all they have killed 202000 Americans in 6 Months Kind if like NAZIS
What the actual F*CK
The corruption in this administration is like nothing we’ve ever seen before. Insane.
The Corruption, Payoffs, Bribes just never end with Trump and his criminal administration.. Truly amazing and just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to how deep Trumps corruption Runs within our Government and his private Businesses.
carlquintanilla Every single person serving in this administration past or present are corrupt to the gills
Figures! They’re all so crooked
trump administration FILLING the swamp. Promises made, promises broken.
A story like this can be written every day. Just change the names, the crime's the same.
Trx1000 Gross, as usual.
The United States, under Trump, is a tinpot dictatorship.
How convenient. CorruptAndComplicitGOP
murrayjohnsonjr There is nothing but corruption and lies in this administration.

Yeah it was a total surprise, these guys have been on a money grab ever since the grifter in chief got in their him, his family, and all his cronies have been doing nothing but the biggest bank job in the history of the world,wait until after he's gone and we find the true extent
I’m sure it “must” be legit.
Grifters ripping off the American taxpayer in plain sight. But her emails and own those libs, amirite?
Well Nancy does that all the time fir her husband
Shocking, except it's not, and unfortunately, he will get away with it.
INVESTIGATE NOW! Sick of the graft and corruption of the Trump Administration. Apparently Acting Secretary Wolf wants us to believe that he and his wife don’t talk.
A sea of grifters !
Prosecutions begin January 21st.
Is someone looking into this? Just saying
Good for her ❤️
Endless grift
Mitza4u So... when is the swamp gonna be drained Not yet?
They all need to go
Acting is not an apt description. He is holding a position illegally
I'm sure that this is an unrelated coincidence 🙄
Imagine how bad the corruption would be in this administration if the Republican party weren't so concerned about Law and Order.
LockThemUp
One more example of criminal corruption that pervades the whole of realDonaldTrump‘s administration. Like Trump, like staff, they’re all happy to rip off taxpayers dollars, and you if you want to oblige.
So much for awarding small contracts like this to small minority business.
“Oh know”, pick up a dictionary.
Still voting MAGA2020LandslideVictory
Of course they did. Criminals, liars, hypocrites, cheats, SOBs and MFrs. That's this administration.
They good to talk about others country corruption, even investigate & block they bank accounts in U.S.A. Like Venezuela for example. Hypocrites, is like when you have own backyard full of shit & because you don't clean it, you are going to (SHIT/CAGAR) in some one else house.
Everyone in this thread should read about the Clinton or Biden family connections to government contracts. Or the Clinton Foundation donations (to and from) connections. You’re all a bunch of hypocrites.
Who exactly is the swamp now days?
It's a 'Swamp' thing.... ask donny
The most corrupt Administration in our entire history
Let them eat cake
Are they qualified? If so, who cares. Cocaine hunter Biden got millions from around the world and he was not qualified for any of it. That's corruption!!
Third world country administration
'At no time in any of his positions since joining DHS has Secretary Wolf been involved in awarding any contracts.Even if he were involved with the procurement process for this contract,which he was not,he would have had to recuse himself due to even the appearance of impropriety”
Ok, now do Hunter Biden.
Is it one of Trump’s shell companies?
Corruption again
