Evidence

Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis called on the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate no-bid contracts tied to many New York City homeless shelters, saying the contracts raised serious concerns about corruption and potential misuse of taxpayer dollars.

Direct evidence that Malliotakis made the requested DOJ referral/call. No official follow-up in the lookback window indicates DOJ acted on it.

The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York unsealed an indictment involving a Brooklyn-based nonprofit that operated homeless shelters in New York City, alleging embezzlement, bribery, and kickback schemes tied to shelter contracts.

Official DOJ action showing a related federal criminal case existed, but it does not show that Malliotakis's specific request produced a separate DOJ investigation or completion of the requested review.

The promise was to call on the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate New York City homeless shelter contracts for potential fraud, waste, and corruption. The April 24, 2026 evidence shows Malliotakis did make that federal investigation request while serving in Congress, satisfying the promised action. A related DOJ indictment supports the broader concern but is not necessary to establish delivery because the promised act was the call/referral itself, not securing a DOJ investigation or prosecution.
