USAID Officials Lock DOGE Out, Trump Hits Back This Morning with a ‘Find Out’ Response!
In a significant escalation of tensions between the Trump administration and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), two top security officials at USAID were placed on administrative leave after denying access to representatives from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk. The DOGE personnel attempted to access USAID’s headquarters in Washington, D.C., seeking entry into security systems and personnel files, including classified information, but were rebuffed by USAID’s Director of Security, John Voorhees, and his deputy. Following the confrontation, DOGE members reportedly gained control over the agency’s access systems, effectively locking out numerous employees and reading internal emails.
Elon Musk, appointed by President Donald Trump to lead efforts in streamlining federal agencies, has been vocal about his desire to dismantle USAID, describing it as “beyond repair” and advocating for its closure. He announced that President Trump agreed with his assessment, leading to immediate actions such as locking out over 600 USAID employees from the agency’s computer systems and instructing them to stay away from the Washington headquarters.
These developments are part of a broader initiative by the Trump administration to restructure or eliminate certain federal agencies, aligning with the “America First” agenda. Discussions have emerged about potentially folding USAID into the State Department, a move that has faced criticism from Democratic lawmakers who argue it could undermine U.S. foreign aid efforts and may be illegal.
The abrupt actions have led to significant disruptions within USAID, including the deactivation of the agency’s website and social media accounts, and placing numerous officials on leave. Critics express concerns that dismantling USAID could harm global humanitarian efforts and diminish the U.S.’s role in international development, potentially allowing other nations, such as China, to fill the void.
As the situation unfolds, it highlights the ongoing conflict between the administration’s push for governmental efficiency and the traditional operations of federal agencies, raising questions about the future of U.S. foreign aid and the balance of power within the federal government.
