Watchdog: Trump's dismantling of USAID means billions in unspent aid now lack oversight
67% Informative
The U.S. Agency for International Development has lost almost all ability to track $8.2 billion in unspent humanitarian aid, watchdog says.
Watchdog cites the risk of hundreds of millions of dollars in commodities rotting after staff was barred from delivering it.
A federal judge on Friday temporarily blocked a Trump administration order that would have put thousands of USAID staffers on paid leave.
Some staffers say they were confused by conflicting agency emails and notices over the weekend about whether they should go in.
Others expected they would be turned away but went anyway.
A USAID email sent Sunday night told employees that what it called “the former USAID headquarters” and other USAID offices in the Washington area were closed.
