Marshals' Misspending

Congress has appropriated millions of dollars for the U.S. Marshals Service to provide for courthouse security and witness protection efforts. But $4.3 million of that money ended up being used for fitness centers and firing ranges, according to a Justice Department report obtained by USA Today. David Barnes, who oversees courthouse space for the agency, was warned several times by the Office of Management and Budget not to spend the money, and allegedly concealed the spending from higher-ups.
