Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin acknowledged that his department withheld $3.92 million since 2004
from Fire Department of New York first responders suffering from illnessesrelated to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks because of other debts New York City owes the federal government, according to a letter addressed to New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio.
In the letter, Mnuchin agreed that the city's firefighters shouldn't suffer the consequences of federal debt squabbles, but still said it's on the city to rectify the funding gap.
