Sen. Dick Durbin (IL), the No. 2 Democrat, said Sunday that the Senate will hold hearings into the General Services Administration spending scandal.

“We are going to have a hearing as to what actually happened here,” Durbin said on NBC’s Meet The Press. “It’s an absolutely outrageous expenditure of taxpayers’ money.” He called it “totally unacceptable.”

The scandal — in which government workers spent exorbitantly in Las Vegas on the taxpayer dime — led to the resignation of the GSA chief and two other officials.
