No bid contract and this left me more to not believing the story. I would guess Cheney still receiving money from KBR did not halt a no bid contract in Iraq.

The allegations are that:

Toni McCall and Michele Obama were both members of activist groups at Princeton.

Toni McCall Townes-Whitley is a senior VP at CGI Federal, the contractor with the largest part of healthcare.gov.

Toni McCall Townes-Whitley visited the White House on multiple occasions.

CGI Federal was the sole bid reviewed for the work that it did.

There appear to be Facebook pictures, white house visitor logs, and Princeton newspapers corroborating some of this.
