A senior official who served in the Biden administration's State Department has just pleaded guilty to a jaw-dropping theft — and the numbers are staggering.
Levita Almuete Ferrer, 64, a former senior budget analyst in the Office of the Chief of Protocol, admitted to embezzling $657,347.50 over two years. According to a report by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for D.C., she wrote dozens of checks to herself and deposited them into personal accounts while disguising them in the State Department's accounting system.
Prosecutors said Ferrer used QuickBooks to change payee records after printing each check, falsely assigning the funds to real vendors to avoid detection. She pleaded guilty to theft of government property and will be sentenced on September 18.
New York Post reported that Ferrer has agreed to repay the stolen funds and faces up to 10 years in prison under federal sentencing guidelines.
But that’s not the only chaos shaking the Biden-era State Department...
Earlier this year, a Diplomatic Security Service (DSS) agent assigned to Secretary of State Marco Rubio was arrested at Hotel Amigo in Brussels after allegedly acting “erratically,” according to The Washington Examiner. Sources said the agent became physically aggressive when the hotel refused to reopen the bar, resulting in a scuffle with Belgian police.
The DSS agent was released later that day after intervention from the U.S. Embassy in Brussels, but insiders told the Examiner the outburst was likely caused by “incomprehensible workload and burnout” on Rubio’s security detail.
With two disturbing incidents in less than three months, critics are asking — is the Biden-Kamala administration losing control of its own people?
