Officials at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) as well as their grantees could potentially face criminal charges for foreign aid fraud after the agency's deputy administrator-designate found that the abuse of taxpayer funds was far worse than first reported, according to several news outlets.

During a confidential briefing Wednesday before the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Acting USAID Chief Pete Marocco, a Trump appointee, reportedly told Congress he is considering criminal referrals regarding fraudulent spending activities within the U.S. international aid agency.

"Apparently, there's still judicial action that has even come out as late as this morning," committee member Rep. Keith Self (R-TX), who was in the closed-door meeting, told The Daily Mail in an interview.

"They intend to refer USAID officials to DOJ," the congressman shared, noting how fraud is "a criminal act."

No one doubted this... Why yall think so many politicians are up in arms over Musk?

However, as deep as this goes, it will come to a point where those involved will become too "important" to perp walk... Hide and watch...

Seriously.

Do something. Don’t tell me you’re gonna do it.

Let the news tell me you arrested a who’s who list of politicians and their family members and when their court dates are

Sounds like a lot of no-bid contracts, as well as awarded grants without a submission

Love how quickly confidential briefings are released. So, why make it confidential?

Tired of talk and considerings. For too long we have given brownie points for words. Time for action.

the doj needs to file a dozen indictments prior to the 2 billion mandate comes due. Litigate each contract through the courts and gather up a large sack of bad guys

Problem is, it looks like the DOJ is run by Pam Bondi.

This shite appears to be going nowhere
