Details
On Friday, February 07, US President Donald Trump said that “corruption has reached unprecedented levels” in the US Agency for International Development (USAID), and therefore it should be disbanded.
The news about USAID is driving left-wing radicals crazy, and they can't do anything about it. The ways in which the money was spent, most of it fraudulently, are completely incomprehensible. We have not seen this level of corruption for a long time. Close it down!
At the same time, the head of the White House did not provide any concrete evidence of corruption.
Recall
Labor unions have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration over its attempt to dissolve USAID and furlough 10,000 employees. The plaintiffs argue that the president's actions are unconstitutional and will lead to a humanitarian catastrophe.
