Trump fires USAID's inspector general after his office released a report critical of the administration
Paul Martin's office put out a report Monday detailing the negative impact of the Trump administration’s push for drastic cuts at the agency.
Summary
Paul Martin, USAID’s inspector general since 2023, was fired a day after releasing a report criticizing the Trump administration’s downsizing of the agency.
The report (archive link) warned that staffing gaps could lead to inadvertent funding of terrorist-linked entities and put $489 million in food aid at risk.
Martin was informed of his immediate dismissal via email. He later sent a farewell message to his staff.
The White House has not commented on the firing.
Cricitism will not be tolerated because these bitch boys can't handle the truth.
Donnie,
Speaking the truth and being fired for it is a good way to leave; it beats having to work against your conscience or quit with a whimper.
Weird little baby men trying to run our fucking lives.
