Marco Rubio Accuses USAID Of ‘Insubordination,’ Claims He’s Now In Charge
HuffPost
Sen. Andy Kim (D-N.J.) pushed back on the “illegal” maneuver at a conference outside the agency.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Monday that the U.S. Agency for International Development has been rolled into the State Department, with Rubio now its acting director as a result of some legally questionable maneuvers.
“I’m the acting director of USAID,” he said. “I’ve delegated that authority to someone, but I stay in touch with him.”
Rubio further accused the agency that now reports to him of “insubordination” for being uncooperative “with people asking simple questions.”
The secretary did not elaborate on who was asking the questions but was presumably referring to Elon Musk, who went on a tirade against the agency over the weekend.
The agency’s website disappeared Saturday without explanation after Musk called it “a criminal organization” on social media and said it was “time for it to die.”
