CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) -- South Carolina's Health and Human Services director promises a probe into an undercover video in which an actor posing as an Irish Republican Army supporter seeks South Carolina Medicaid help for associates supposedly wounded in IRA fights.
The video was posted Tuesday by Project Veritas, the group that shot undercover videos of the community organizing group ACORN. It shows a man wearing a kilt entering an HHS office in Charleston.
HHS director Anthony Kreck told The Post and Courier of Charleston that the paperwork would never have been approved. But he says it raises questions whether the unidentified state employee had been properly trained.
Project Veritas released two other videos this week involving undercover interviews with Medicaid workers in Ohio and in New York
