Federal workers at USAID could find themselves behind bars for fraud after DOGE uncovered a massive spending scandal at the program, DailyMail.com has learned
Pete Marocco, deputy administrator-designate at USAID, provided the House Foreign Affairs Committee with a briefing on Capitol Hill Wednesday while discussing the review of foreign aid implemented by President Donald Trump.
Moracco told the committee he is considering sending criminal recommendations to the Justice Department regarding actions within USAID being exposed by Elon Musk‘s DOGE.
‘Apparently, there’s still judicial action that has even come out as late as this morning,’ Rep. Keith Self, R-Texas, who was in the meeting, told DailyMail.com in an exclusive interview.
‘They intend to refer USAID officials to DOJ,’ he shared, noting how fraud ‘is a criminal act.’
The Republican shared that Marocco left open the possibility that both USAID workers and grant recipients could be recommended for crimes.
‘If they are detecting outright fraud, not just bad programs, not just ignoble programs, not just programs that don’t support the national interest of the United States, if they’re finding fraud, then, absolutely’ the wrongdoers should be prosecuted, Rep. Self said.
Please being charges against these thieves. That’s the only way this corruption will crease to exist.
