1st target of president’s war against fraud, waste and corruption
A federal judge has given President Donald Trump permission to proceed with a plan to remove thousands of workers in what used to be known as the U.S. Agency for International Development from their posts.
USAID was one of Trump’s first targets in his fulfillment of his campaign promise to attack waste, fraud and corruption in federal spending.
The agency had thousands of employees who essentially handed out U.S. tax money for foreign projects, including some that have been revealed to be egregious wastes, such as DEI theatrical productions and LGBT comic books.
