In a daring move, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has demanded criminal investigations into USAID’s purported globalist agenda. She accuses the agency of potential corruption, claiming that taxpayer dollars are being used to advance partisan objectives and possibly fund terrorist organizations.
Greene’s Allegations Against USAID
During a House Oversight DOGE subcommittee meeting, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene accused USAID of furthering a globalist agenda under the current administration. She argued that USAID’s programs prioritize globalist values, compromising American interests. Greene’s concerns focus on protecting U.S. sovereignty and ensuring government agencies operate within their mandates. Her comments stem from the belief that USAID’s operations align more with globalist propaganda than national priorities.
USAID is completely corrupted.

Greene also pointed to the alleged misuse of USAID funds, suggesting they contribute to global instability and radical agendas. In particular, she highlighted Hunter Biden’s business with Burisma and accused President Joe Biden of using USAID funds for personal leverage in international diplomacy. These remarks come amidst broader scrutiny of the agency’s spending and political influence.
Witness Testimonies Highlight Oversight Concerns
Witnesses at the hearing supported Greene’s claims, with former USAID official Max Primorac critiquing the agency for high overhead costs and oversight failures. Witness Gregg Roman from the Middle East Forum accused USAID of funneling taxpayer money to organizations with alleged terror links, urging the committee to consider a Department of Justice referral. These testimonies underpin Greene’s arguments for deeper investigations.

“Because there’s a fox loose in the henhouse of our foreign aid system – a system intended to uplift lives abroad that instead has funneled millions of taxpayer dollars to radical and terrorist-linked organizations.” – Gregg Roman.
The controversial nature of these revelations has led to a broader call within the subcommittee for criminal referrals if connections between USAID funding and terror activities are confirmed. Greene’s pursuit of these investigations emphasizes her commitment to addressing what she labels an overreach of power and illicit financing in the agency.
Implications for USAID and the Current Administration
Greene’s actions represent increasing pressure on USAID to demonstrate transparency in its operations and spending. Democrats, however, argue that previous administrations harmed global democracy with unwarranted actions against USAID. The political divide highlights differing views on foreign aid’s role, intentions, and impacts.
“This committee, based on this hearing and witness testimonies, will consider recommending investigations and criminal referrals.” – Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.
As this story unfolds, the tension surrounding USAID’s global agenda will likely spark further debate about the agency’s purpose and political affiliations. Greene’s continued advocacy for scrutiny serves as a reminder of ongoing questions about governmental agencies and their alignment with public interests.
