'$186bn in improper payments…': Dylan Hedtler-Gaudette 'exposes' shocking fraud at Senate hearing

The Democratic side of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee dais was empty Wednesday as Republicans questioned witnesses at a hearing on "Exposing Fraud in America," prompting GOP lawmakers to accuse the minority of ducking a politically uncomfortable issue. Sen. Gary Peters, D-Mich., the ranking member on the committee, was the only Democrat present for the hearing's opening statements. He asked a handful of questions before appearing to leave sometime before Chairman Rand Paul, R-Ky., addressed witnesses Nick Shirley, James O'Keefe and Dylan Hedtler-Gaudette.
