USAID has 'demonstrated pattern of obstructionism,' claims top DOGE Republican in letter to Rubio
Fox News
Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, wrote to Secretary of State Marco Rubio about how USAID has stonewalled her oversight efforts for years as she seeks to bring accountability to the foreign aid agency.
"USAID’s spending shows a blatant disregard for the wishes of American taxpayers, and it is time to disrupt the system," Ernst told Fox News Digital. "The agency has been wasting millions of tax dollars on things like tourism in Lebanon, Sesame Street in Iraq, sending Ukrainians to Paris Fashion Week and so much more."
In one instance, the Iowa Republican claims USAID misled her staff to believe that details about funds going to businesses in Ukraine were classified, funds that in some instances were used for travel to fashion shows and film festivals.
