Foreign Ministry consider criminal transfers against USAID

“It was a brief mention of transfers to doj,” said Rep. Keith Self (R-TX), who was in the briefing Washington Examiner. “There were no details.”

According to himself, Marocco gave no information about it in relation to USAID employees or financing recipients.

“If you tell the members of the congress that you are considering a transfer at all, I would think that you have a pretty good case or you believe that you have a pretty good case,” he said. “We go to the rule of law. If there are criminal activities, I would expect you to refer you to one, doj, AG, someone. It's so easy. I don't think about it in relation to the agenda. I think about the rule of law. “

Two other sources confirmed Marocco, the criminal transfers mentioned, but no details were described in a similar way.

“It is a reaction to mismanagement of help and fraud, waste and abuse that may have increased to the level of crime,” said one source.

A second source added: “It is the end result of the putrefaction in the USA and the Trump administrator, which refuses it and reveals it.”

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs refused to confirm the comments from Marocco because the ministry “as a general matter” does not provide any explanations of “communication and briefings with the congress”, a spokesman said that Washington Examiner.

A spokesman for the Ministry of Justice did not respond to the Washington Examiner Request for comments on what the department would do with the transfers.

USAID has become a political lightning shelf for the Trump administration and Elon Musk, whose Efficiency Ministry has drastically reformed the agency in the first weeks of the new presidency and imposes a shifted organization within the Foreign Ministry.

It is one of several departments and agencies that Musk and his team dismantled as part of their mission to reduce the size and scope of the federal government, which causes the critical criticism of the Democrats, which claims the Tesla Mogul, to exceed his authority.

Democrats have also commented that reducing foreign help will reduce the soft diplomatic power of the United States when China's increase.

The White House supported Musk during the USAID reforms. Press spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt describes a list of the agency projects as a “crap” that taxpayers should not finance.

The former general inspector of USAID, Paul Martin, appointed by former President Joe Biden before Trump released him last month, sent a memo to the acting deputy administrator Jason Gray at the time in January, who criticized the agency because he was not properly named terrorist organizations via the organization partners and known corrupt actions has been properly checked over a missing data carrier.

“Receiving information from UN agencies remains a lengthy and frustrating undertaking that delays Oig's ability to examine allegations of fraud, sexual abuse and other affairs,” wrote Martin.

The session on Wednesday, after the Supreme Court had rejected, takes place in relation to a order to be introduced in court, which prevented the 90-day freezing of the Trump administration from the 90-day foreigners and obliges the administration to immediately pay $ 2 billion. Court files show that Trump has ended more than 90% of the USAID scholarships or almost 5,800 contracts.
