WASHINGTON — The Trump administration has secretly siphoned nearly $4 million away from a program that tracks and treats FDNY firefighters and medics suffering from 9/11-related illnesses, the New York Daily News has learned.

The Treasury Department started withholding parts of payments — nearly four years ago — meant to cover medical services for firefighters, emergency medical technicians and paramedics treated by the FDNY World Trade Center Health Program, documents obtained by The News reveal.

Supposedly rebalancing Medicare funds. Actually, started under Obama, but accelerated under Trump. See this is the problem with shady things going on all around all the time with this admin. It may, or may not be as big a deal as this seems.

Is this the Jon Stewart program? The one he shamed with his congressional testimony? If so, you think he'd be making a stink.

For what purpose other than to prove beyond any doubt that he is absolutely a complete a fucking asshole. We know that, he doesn't need to keep reinforcing it.
