AP’S ASSESSMENT: False.
But Rumsfeld wasn’t saying the Department of Defense was missing $2.3 trillion. He was using the number to illustrate that the department was having trouble keeping track of its finances because of outdated technology.The figure was included in afor fiscal year 1999 by the Defense Department’s inspector general, which noted: “For the accounting entries, $2.3 trillion was not supported by adequate audit trails or sufficient evidence to determine their validity.
Later that year, Robert Lieberman, who was then the assistant inspector general for the department, cited the $2.3 trillion number during before a congressional task force in which he discussed “how difficult it has been for DOD to emulate private sector financial reporting practices.”This is part of AP’s effort to address widely shared misinformation, including work with outside companies and organizations to add factual context to misleading content that is circulating online.The Associated Press is an independent global news organization dedicated to factual reporting.
