If you haven't heard or read Andrew Natsios' comments declaring what Trump has Doge doing to usaid then you are being misled by this Admin. Natsios has been interviewed many times in the last 10 days or so and he says the Trump and Doge claims are "utter nonsense". He also uses as evidence that the line items of the agency's budget are examined every year and all the time by four major auditing functions of the govt like Congressional Budget Office, OMB iirc, Congressional oversight committess, etc, without any hint of any large or widespread fraud or abuse. And Waste is in the eye of the beholder.
Andrew Natsios: It's utter nonsense. The most accountable aid agency in the world is USAID. I have written actually widely on this subject. Forty percent of the staff are accountants and lawyers and people trying to make sure no money is stolen. We've created systems to monitor that. What they did was, they went back 20 years to try to find things, if you have to go back 20 years to find abuse, that means there isn't that much abuse.
This guy has been doing this stuff for decades and knows way more about it than dumpster licker and his Musk buddy
