US President took aim at the US Agency for International Development (USAID) with a claim that billions of dollars have been stolen at the agency.

“Looks like billions of dollars have been stolen at USAID and other agencies, much of it going to the fake news media as a “payoff” for creating good stories about the Democrats. The left wing “Rag”, known as “Politico”, seems to have received USD 8,000,000. Did the New York Times receive money??? Who else did???

This could be the biggest scandal of them all, perhaps the biggest in history! The democrats can’t hide from this one. Too big, too dirty!”, - writes Donald Trump on the Truth Social.

His post came amid a debate about media organizations receiving government funding that has intensified after tech billionaire and Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) head Elon Musk criticized certain outlets for allegedly receiving payments from federal institutions.

Musk, appointed by Trump to oversee government efficiency, took to X to comment on federal budget spending, claiming that the administration of former President Joe Biden had provided funding to select media organizations.

Musk specifically pointed to payments made through agencies such as the USAID. Yesterday he shared a post showing Politico had received USD 8.1 million from USAID and in another post he said: “Not an efficient use of taxpayer funds. This wasteful expenditure will be deleted”.
