From Fox News: The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has recently become the target of Elon Musk’s DOGE efforts to slash government waste and spending, bringing increased scrutiny to the record of Samantha Power, the agency’s administrator during almost the entire Biden administration.

Power, who previously served as the United States ambassador to the United Nations from 2013 to 2017 in the Obama administration after serving on his National Security Council, took the reins of USAID in the early days of the Biden administration and was tasked with overseeing the tens of billions of dollars budgeted for foreign aid.

“One of the most pressing challenges facing our nation is restoring and strengthening America’s global leadership as a champion of democracy, human rights, and the dignity of all people,” then-Vice President-elect Kamala Harris said in a statement at the time of Power’s appointment. “Few Americans are better equipped to help lead that work than Ambassador Samantha Power.”

Power was directly involved in the Obama administration’s surveillance of Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and sought to obtain Michael Flynn’s redacted identity using an “unmasking” request on at least seven occasions, Fox News Digital previously reported, despite testifying under oath before the House Intelligence Committee that she had “no recollection” of ever making such a request even once.

Fox News reported in 2017 that Power was “unmasking” at such a rapid pace in the final months of the Obama administration that she averaged more than one request for every working day in 2016, and she even sought information in the days leading up to President Trump’s inauguration, according to multiple sources close to the matter.

Power, 54, was born in London, and grew up in Ireland until age 9, when she immigrated to the United States with her mother.

In 2005-2006, Power worked in the office of then-U.S. Senator Barack Obama as a foreign policy fellow, and later served as a senior foreign policy adviser to Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign. In 2009 she was appointed by Obama to a spot on the National Security Council. In 2013, Obama appointed her as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations.

Power then served as the Administrator of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) throughout nearly the entire Biden administration, from 2021 to 2025.

In the video below. Power is whining about all the laid-off USAID staffers who are now worried about how to pay their rent, and claims that needy people are now finding health clinics shuttered and soup kitchens closed.

“What Samantha Power did with your tax dollars at @usaid should be an FBI Investigation. She used your money to fund crazy radical programs and far Left activists. Investigate!” demanded Richard Grenell, Presidential Envoy for Special Missions.

General Mike Flynn posted the following commentary about Samantha Power Thursday morning:

Former USAID Director Samantha Power should be indicted for what she’s been doing with our hard earned U.S. taxpayer money. This is out of control and her problems run far deeper than ripping off the American people (see below). She’s part of the Obama and Susan Rice team of leftists who’ve been running our country into the ground for far too long now.

“Power was directly involved in the Obama administration’s surveillance of Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and sought to obtain Michael Flynn’s redacted identity using an “unmasking” request on at least seven occasions, Fox News Digital previously reported, despite testifying under oath before the House Intelligence Committee that she had “no recollection” of ever making such a request even once.”

These and many others have been working overtime to:

1) promote out of control illegal immigration,
2) sustain a sense of perpetual war against Christianity,
3) keep us involved in never ending wars,
4) use and abuse the evils of the banking system to their advantage,
5) force their Marxist ideologies on American culture to breakdown the family unit especially in the black and hispanic communities,
6) etc…

Do not kid yourselves for those reading this far, there has been a sustained effort by the globalists to destroy America as the last bastion of sovereign freedom. We can survive this but those Marxist leaders at the forefront (some mentioned here but there are many more), MUST be held ACCOUNTABLE.

In April 2023, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) grilled Power during a congressional hearing.
