MUSK’s Doge Crew had no security clearance to access that information, so two USAID security representatives (John Vorhees) are legally obligatory to refuse access. Ta.
Currently and former US officials had knowledge of the case and had no authority to share information, so they talked about anonymously.
Musk on Sunday said, “USAID is a criminal organization. It’s time to die.” The White House did not respond immediately to the comment request.
One day after DOGE has implemented a similar business with the Ministry of Finance and gained access to confidential information, including social security and medical payment systems.
The mask formed a douge in cooperation with the new Trump administration, with a clear goal of dismissing federal workers, reducing programs, and finding ways to reduce federal regulations.
The USAID, which the website disappeared without explaining on Saturday, was one of the most targeted Federal Governments by escalating the federal government and many of its programs.
Turbulent aid organization
Democratic Senator warns the Trump administration for all efforts to eliminate USAID as an independent organization on Friday, and the fear of supporters may be offshore. I responded.
Senator Chris Murphy is one of the Democratic members of the Senate diplomatic committee to discuss in a statement and social media that President Donald Trump does not have legal authority to dissolve the institution. did.
The controlled organization is freezing funds -and the deep confusion about the fact that the US funding must stop the job, such as providing nutritional support for very poor nutritional infants.

State Affairs and USAID current and former officials have invited staff to submit a demand for exemption from foreign aid freeze.
Three days later, at least 56 senior carriers USAID staff were suddenly on administrative leave.

Many of the three officials will determine which programs are exempted, write proposals, and support the submission of exemption requests that they believed to have been invited. He said he was a lawyer.
The authorities talked about anonymity in fear of retaliation. The Trump administration, which supports the organization’s interpretation as a gag instruction, hated talking to the public publicly, fearing that the US fund would be forever.
“Some of the USAIDs, which seem to be designed to avoid the president’s administrative order and American delegation from Americans in the internal memo on Monday on Monday on Monday on Monday. He said that he had identified “action.
“As a result, many USAID employees have been placed on the management leave, until they have completed the analysis of these actions and notified,” says Gray.
Former USAID senior officials, people on vacation, such as continuing clean water supply for the refugees in the war zone, are “confusion” to seek exemption from suspension of assistance in specific lifesaving projects. He said he was supporting the help of the process.

According to two officials who saw the internal e -mail on Thursday, the USAID HR personnel who tried to reverse their actions would not justify it, and he himself took a vacation. He said he was placed. PROPUBLICA and VOX reporters first reported X’s e -mail.
The Ministry of State and the White House did not respond to a message for comments on changing staff.
The new leaders of USAID suddenly fired a contractor who set up about half of the labor of the humanitarian bureau of the institution, knocked out them from the system, and some people disappeared during the video conference. The former high school official said. The targeted institutional service contractor will do everything from management and travel support to subsidy processing and data analysis.
The change in personnel arrangements was made three days after the Ministry of State issuing a guideline last Friday to ensure Trump’s presidential order to freeze 90 days of foreign support. The department says that the United States is reviewing the money spent to ensure management policy.
The guidelines were initially exempted from military assistance to Israel, Egypt, and emergency food programs, but program administrators and implementers could apply for exemption from programs that would meet the management standards.
On Tuesday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued a wider amount of exemptions for programs that provide other “saving life” support, such as medical, medical services, food, and shelters, and the possibility of exemption again. I pointed out. Rubio pointed out the expansion of exemption in an interview with Megyn Kelly, Siriusxm host on Thursday.
“We don’t want to see people die,” he said.
Rubio stated that there was a review for each program, “Is the United States safer, stronger, or more prosperous?”
Rubio states that closing the programs provided by the United States during the 90 -day review means that the United States will “get more cooperation from the winners of humanitarian, development, and security support.” Ta. “Otherwise, you won’t get your money.”
The State Department said that many were returned due to the lack of sufficient details due to the freezing of assistance, but have approved dozens of exemptions. He said that the exemption request for a program that costs hundreds of dollars has been received and has been reviewed.
The department did not specify how many exemptions were rejected, but so far has been 1 billion in programs and projects that do not match the first agenda in the United States. He said that more than the dollar had stopped.
Even if exemptions to save lives have expanded, uncertainty surrounds the United States’ funding programs legally. Hundreds of thousands of people around the world are proceeding without accessing medicine and humanitarian supplies, and the clinic does not take medicine in time to freeze funds. I am doing it.
