The Trump administration's internal organs in the United States overseas assistance are mainly Ded by the first President of Trump by the ally of the campaign that OWN, which has a hostile trajectory in multiple institutions, and the riot on January 6th. It was publicly identified that he was attending when he attacked the capital.
Peter Malocco has accumulated power in the foreign aid bureau, an informal “F”. However, under Marocco, the full -fledged freezing of overseas assistance and the fact that the business has been stopped, and has already been ordered to stop hundreds of reefoffs in the United States and overseas.
According to the officials of the current and the State Department of State and the State Department, the integration of the power of the office under Marocco does not hurt the check and balance of the parliament, but instead is novel and burned through the USAID, USAID and USAID overseas assistance programs. Given the authority of religious appointments. State Department.
“He is not a destroyer. He is a destroyer,” said a former USAID official. “And it's clear to me. The plan is to destroy USAID, defeat it, and build it again.
The return of MAROCCO to USAID has not been officially announced, and the website of the department still lists the previous director of the Foreign Support Bureau. Many staff were drafted by knowing that Marocco was appointed from email and cable and ordered him to stop work.
In the evening of Friday, the Senate Democratic Party, even if he was not involved in the parliament, he decided to place senior officials in USAID on vacation and freeze foreign assistance. So we have created a whirlpool of the problem that impairs the reliability of the United States. ” 。
They warned Trump to reduce or include an institution to the State Department, leaving the reported plan. “It is essential to maintain independent development voice and abilities within the US government,” wrote the Senator. “The USAID is an independent facility other than the Ministry of State by law. Proposals that change the structure will require parliamentary actions.”
Malocco, a former Marine and conservative activist from Dallas, has performed a short mission of only a year in the President of Trump, with the Ministry of State, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Defense, and the USAID, respectively. In 2020, there was a 13 -page complaint by USAID staff. Arranged on the opposition channel -The foreign service staff to express constructive criticism -frameworks -Micro management is weakened by weakening employees in a “rapid deterioration” of a small department that focuses on political transition. I will blame. According to critics, he is currently applying the same troublesome reviews and the same playbooks with ambiguous commands to all of the USAID.
MAROCCO is said to have been taken and photographed in the building of the Congress Hall during the riot on January 6. It is widely quoted investigation。 Marocco has not been charged with crime. I asked about the claim D magazineMalocco did not deal with whether he was in the parliamentary hall, but described it as a “trivial painting tactic and a desperate personal attack.”
He joined Trump's transition team in December as an advisor to the National Security Officer.
“Returning to the anger of Sumia and Fake on January 6th, the media Democratic members and their allies will be disappointed, as well as being firmly rejected by the Americans.” And Trump Spokesman Karoline Leavitt told Politico at the time.
The Ministry of State has rejected Malocco's appointment, suspected of participating in the event on January 6, 2021, and answers questions regarding the examination process of the department to evaluate overseas assistance and potential exemptions for programs.
Former and current officials of the USAID, State Affairs, and the Department of Defense are characterized by previous Malocco stints to these institutions by secrets, personal disputes, and arbitrary -intended rules. He said he was. Some people believe that Marocco has returned to his former colleague to VEN.
“The reaction was a reaction and fear,” a former senior official of the USAID said about Marocco's appointment. “Unless it's a transaction, I don't know if they really believe in development or humanitarian support.”
“He is the most qualified person sitting in all of the government, not to say, who has the key to our foreign aid,” said another former colleague who is still working in USAID. I did it.
Malocco has taken a clipboard at hand next to the members of the “government efficiency” of the special group created by Trump, and stepped into the USAID office. A few hours later, almost 60 officials in the office took paid leave. According to former USAID officials, agencies, who have been experienced for decades, have been escorted by security by security and their email accounts have been frozen.
“They wanted to be the organization,” said the current USAID employee. “And they did the leadership and decades of experience aside.”
This purge continues to be a limited action if Marocco has drunk and the new Secretary of State's Secretary Marco Rubio, which has already been committed in the USAID over stop work orders signed by Marco Rubio. Some believed that I could do it.
“We have identified some actions in USAID, which seem to be designed to avoid the president's order and American delegation,” he said, saying that the related staff will be on the management leave. Jason Gray, a proxy manager, writes.
Some employees are openly rebelled. According to the USAID employee and labor -related director, Nicholas Gott Reeves in the email to all staff members that the Guardian saw, the appointment of the “DOGE” is “issuing an immediate dismissal notice. He instructed him to violate the process. “
The request was called “illegal”, and Gott Reeves said, “I wouldn't be a violation party. [due process]” A few hours later, he took an administrative leave.
Gottlieb wrote in another e -mail to the bystander's USAID senior staff that “the material does not show evidence that you are engaged in cheating.”

“I wish you everything -you don't worth it,” he wrote.
Urgent assistance and rescue (exempt), cleaning (exempted), up to emergency assistance and rescue (exempted), clean water and hygiene programs, and cleaning the cleaning (exempted), cleaning the cleaning amine early warning system network due to the development of a mixed OTIC. And the hygiene program has been whiplash. The report reported on Friday was offline.
However, there are few details of the vast review program. This is to evaluate thousands of foreign aids and the expected exemption demands. Information on many advanced USAID staff was a lawyer who supported the request for exemption from foreign aid freezing.
The Ministry of State has stated that the exemption process has been “successfully dozens of times in the first few days.” However, many demands could not provide the detailed level required to enable thorough evaluation. “
Previous cables have shown that they include Michael Anton, another political appointment, Michael Anton, a new director of the policy plan. The State Department has refused to answer questions from the Guardian about who is evaluating the reviews and the number of staff in the process.
“The lack of exemption clarity was a big problem for a partner,” said the current USAID staff. “There is a cricket for the program funded by USAID. Nobody could get information.”
Insider told the Guardian that Marocco was on the side of his career staff at the Foreign Aid Bureau, and only a few employees were working on programs. The demand for exemption from USAID has been sent to the Foreign Aid Bureau in Marocco, from which they were transferred to policy planning staff, and recently stopped all career public servants and foreign services, and only political appointments. I try to review them.
“We are all trying to grasp, but do you have a review process? Who is part of that review?” “Are you two best friends Pete Marocco and his two friends?”
The USAID has enacted other orders that have lost the staff and lost morale. Photos of support programs around the world are literally It was peeled off from the wall “A command was issued to delete all artwork and photos from the offices and general spaces of all buildings.”
“All photos need to come down now. Are you going to burn the book next?”

The US $ 400 billion per year, which the United States spends on foreign assistance, is less than 1 % of the budget. However, according to the State Department, the United States spends 4 dollars for every 10 dollars spent around the world for humanitarian assistance, and the sudden cut -off is among US contractors and local partners around the world. It is connected to a thousand layoffs.
“I got it late on Friday,” said one of the American implementers, who was ordered by the Guardian at the stop. “And as a result, I was fired on Monday.”
The 90 -day stop order and financial freezing mean that no one actually prepared an exemption request was that.
Devex, a media platform in the development community, reports that this week, the USAID Human Support Bureau abandoned about 500 institutional support contractors, that is, 40 % of the team, and weakened the ability to respond quickly to humanitarian crisis. I did.

“If there is a tropical cyclone that hits the bazaar of Cox tomorrow, how do you intend to save all those people? And how do you reconstruct if you order a stop work?” Former high school officials said to the city of Bangladesh, where more than 1 million Rohingya refugees live. “Can I sit there for 90 days, sit there and take what I am waiting for? That is what I am worried about.”
