House Republicans kept almost a billion dollars in funding for an agency targeted by the Department of Government Efficiency after the Biden administration used it to promote abortion in Africa.
In April, Millennium Challenge Corporation employees received an email that they would be offered early retirement or deferred resignation after visits from DOGE, The New York Times reported.
“We understand from the DOGE team there will soon be a significant reduction in the number of MCC’s programs and relatedly the agency’s staff,” MCC’s acting chief executive said in an email to staff at the time.
In May, President Donald Trump requested a 75% reduction in funding for the Millennium Challenge Corporation in its 2026 discretionary budget request.
