Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), chair of the House Oversight Committee’s DOGE Subcommittee, led a hearing on Wednesday titled “America Last: How Foreign Aid Undermined U.S. Interests Around the World.”
The hearing focused on allegations that the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has been used to advance political agendas rather than serving American interests abroad.
In her opening remarks, Greene accused USAID of being “weaponized” to undermine U.S. priorities.
“The Democrat-run USAID should not get to use our federal government, our US taxpayer dollars as their party piggy bank to push their radical agenda in countries that we have no business giving money to,” Greene said.
She also noted that 96% of USAID employee political contributions go to Democratic candidates or PACs.
She further claimed that USAID has been turned into “an America-last foreign aid slush fund to prop up extremist groups, implement censorship campaigns, and interfere in foreign elections to force regime change around the world.”
