Key Biden agency dropped $60K on overseas conference with DEI workshop: 'Should never happen'

Former President Joe Biden's FDA spent roughly $60,000 to send a dozen employees to a Scotland conference that included DEI training, according to a government watchdog.

While at the conference, members of the team attended a workshop that focused on the "stigma" facing LGBTQ+ people in the field of tobacco research.  Andrew Mark Miller is a reporter at Fox News. Find him on Twitter @andymarkmiller and email tips to AndrewMark.Miller@Fox.com.

Topics included in that workshop, according to the FDA’s own report on the trip, included "how anti-LGBTQ+ legislation and discriminatory and stigmatizing environments toward LGBTQ+ populations impact tobacco use and tobacco control research" and "process to develop a community-based participatory research project to address smoking cessation among transgender individuals in Argentina."
