TRANSPORTATION SECRETARY SEAN DUFFY EXPOSES NEW YORK'S ILLEGAL CDL SCANDAL -- 53% OF FOREIGN LICENSES ISSUED ILLEGALLY, PULLS $73M FUNDING

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy just laid out the shocking fraud uncovered in New York's commercial driver's license program.

"We audited New York and 53% of the licenses, commercial driver's licenses issued to foreigners. 53% were issued illegally contrary to our rules," Duffy said.

The Trump administration gave New York four months to fix it.

"We gave New York four months to say hey what we want you to do is just go back in audit all these licenses that you've given and if you've given them contrary to the rules, we'll revoke that license."

New York refused.

"In essence New York said go pound sand DOT," Duffy stated.

"So we had no choice but to pull funding -- and if they still refuse, we can pull their ability to issue commercial driver licenses."

Duffy emphasized the national danger and the America First response: "There are countless Americans that want to drive trucks. These are great jobs. They support families. Instead we have illegals or foreigners getting these jobs hurting the American people. We will not tolerate it at DOT. President Trump said no more."
