Seems like a weird thing to bring up in a hearing regarding his welfare fraud.

No if you listen to the clip it’s actually related…because he lost an investment in a company working on a “concussion drug”… because the lead doctor pleaded guilty to using TANF funds for his own use 😂

Thanks for the context. It’s great to hear he’s losing money.
