From Fox Business: One former State Department and U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) official is speaking out over the waste and fraud she allegedly saw, which ultimately made it difficult to do their jobs.
“We would try to keep USAID in line with the Secretary of State because, technically, the USAID responds to the Secretary of State, and it was very difficult. There was no traceability, no accountability, and it was really hard for us to do our jobs,” Catharine O’Neill Gillihan said on “Varney & Co.” Wednesday.
O’Neill Gillihan worked at the State Department for three years before transferring to being a USAID official under President Donald Trump’s first administration. Currently, the USAID finds itself in the crosshairs of Trump and Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) chair Elon Musk, as they work to shut down the agency.
“The list goes on and on and on,” O’Neill Gillihan said of the spending waste. “I think I read recently that they were funding a ‘Sesame Street’ program in Peru. I mean, these programs have gotten so out of control.”
