From Judicial Watch: Highlighting the need to crack down on waste at the nation’s famously corrupt global aid agency, a group funded by leftwing billionaire George Soros is suing the Trump administration for freezing the funds of another nonprofit, also bankrolled by Soros, that receives millions of dollars from the from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). With a massive budget of around $40 billion, the agency has for years come under fire for the outrageous programs it funds with taxpayer dollars, including hundreds of millions to promote Soros’ radical globalist agenda in Latin America, a failed Clinton-backed port and power plant in Haiti, a project to help Asians learn enough English to work in offshore call centers and develop a Pakistani version of the iconic educational children’s program Sesame Street. Other USAID allocations have paid for a condom strategy in Eswatini, bicycles for rural communities in sub-Saharan Africa and racial equity. Vice President Kamala Harris’ failed multi-million-dollar venture to curb “irregular migration” was also funded through USAID.

Fortunately for American taxpayers, President Trump froze USAID disbursements on day one while his administration identifies problems, and the move has caused outrage among liberals and their allies in the mainstream media. Now two leftist entities that despise the president and promote agendas that clearly contradict his policies are suing him, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and others in the administration for finally stopping the highly questionable flow of taxpayer dollars into their coffers. A lawsuit filed this month in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia accuses the president and his administration of “illegally and unconscionably” freezing funding and work related to nearly every U.S. foreign assistance mission. By freezing foreign aid, President Trump has exceeded his constitutional authority with his unlawful actions that are harming and will harm countless individuals and entities, the complaint alleges.

The lawsuit was filed by a group called Public Citizen that has received $2.46 million from Soros’ Open Society Foundations (OSF) since 2020, records uncovered by Judicial Watch reveal. The Washington D.C.-based group describes itself as a consumer advocacy organization that champions the public interest in the halls of power. “We defend democracy, resist corporate power, and fight to ensure that government works for the people – not big corporations,” according to its website. Public Citizen’s lead attorney in the case, Lauren Bateman, claims the “Trump administration’s freeze on foreign assistance funding is dangerous and illegal. She added that “when programs like the ones run by our clients are abruptly shuttered, the impacts are felt throughout the world—with the most vulnerable people bearing the deadliest impact.”

Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton provided further insight in a video clip posted on X.

“A group funded by leftwing billionaire George Soros is suing the @realDonaldTrump administration for freezing the funds of another nonprofit, also bankrolled by Soros, that receives millions of dollars from the from the USAID,” Fitton wrote.

“The Trump administration is breaking the law. We are suing to stop them. Check out our new lawsuit tracker to see what we’re doing to fight back,” touted Publican Citizen, one of the radical groups suing the Trump administration.

Ironically, Public Citizen claimed, “Elon Musk is saying that DOGE is cutting billions in government waste and giving that money back to working people. This is a lie. The reality? He’s pushing thousands of Americans out of jobs so that he and his millionaire buddies can pocket the money.”
