President Donald Trump is weighing possible criminal charges against U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) staffers after an explosive investigation by The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) revealed severe abuse of foreign aid programs.
Members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee were briefed Wednesday by Pete Marocco, USAID’s deputy administrator-designate, on findings from the ongoing review of the agency’s spending and operations under Trump’s directive.
The meeting on Capitol Hill was intended to provide an update on the review of foreign aid policies implemented under President Trump. In his discussions with lawmakers, Marocco indicated that the review, influenced by revelations from Elon Musk’s DOGE initiative, may lead to criminal referrals concerning misconduct at the agency.
“Apparently, there’s still judicial action that has even come out as late as this morning,” Rep. Keith Self, (R-TX), who attended the meeting, told DailyMail in an interview. “They intend to refer USAID officials to DOJ,” he shared, highlighting that fraud “is a criminal act.”
