USAID has been reeling since the State Department announced a near total freeze on U.S. foreign aid in line with President Donald Trump ’s executive order.

The order sidelining almost 60 senior career leaders was temporarily rescinded Thursday by one of the few remaining senior career civil servants with the authority to do so, two current and two former USAID employees told NBC News .

Hours after reinstating senior career leadership, the same employee was also placed on administrative leave.
