IG: GSA mindreader 'a motivational speaker'

General Services Administration officials famously hired a mindreader at taxpayer expense to participate in a Las Vegas conference — but he might have been there for motivational speaking.

“I think he billed himself as a motivation speaker,” Inspector General Brian Miller told the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. “The rules do allow motivational speakers. Now if he was mindreading or entertaining, that would not be permitted,” Miller noted.
