Top employees of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) have been placed on leave for refusing Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) personnel access to files.
The mulish bureaucrats blocked the DOGErs entry even after they threatened to call in U.S. Marshals.
Meanwhile, X posts showed that USAID was involved with the corrupt Ukrainian energy company, Burisma, the nexus of the Biden-Burisma influence-peddling scheme, and, worse still, that it indirectly funded lawfare against President Donald Trump.
One good thing is, DOGE chieftain Elon Musk has said Trump “agreed” that the agency must be shut down.
Musk made the comment during an X Spaces conversation, hate-Trump CNN reported:
“With regards to the USAID stuff, I went over it with (the president) in detail and he agreed that we should shut it down,” Musk said in a X Spaces conversation early Monday.
Musk said he checked with Trump “a few times” and Trump confirmed he wants to shut down the agency, which dispenses billions in humanitarian aid and development funding annually. CNN has reached out to the White House and USAID for comment.
Sunday evening, before the X Spaces conversation, when asked for comment on USAID, Trump told reporters: “It’s been run by a bunch of radical lunatics, and we’re getting them out, and then we’ll make a decision” on its future.
Before Musk spoke however, the DOGErs battled with “two top security officials” at the rogue agency. They refused the DOGErs “access to systems … even when DOGE personnel threatened to call law enforcement, multiple sources familiar with the situation told CNN.”
