Ben Carson asks HUD to cancel order for $31,000 dining set
Yahoo News, Mar 1, 2018, Stephanie Ebbs/Good Morning America

The Department of Housing and Urban Development confirmed Thursday that Secretary Ben Carson has asked the agency to cancel an order for a $31,000 dining set for his office suite after the agency came under scrutiny for the cost of the furniture.

"At the request of the Secretary, the agency is working to rescind the order for the dining room set," communications director Raffi Williams said in a statement.

HUD confirmed that agency staff ordered the furniture for the room adjacent to Carson's office. The agency released documents detailing the purchase in response to questions about a complaint filed by an employee who said she felt pressured to approve funds to decorate Carson's office that were above the legal limit.
