The administration of Donald Trump on Wednesday will head to court while moving on to the dismantling of the US International Development Agency (USAID), the day after the White House released the General Inspector for the Agency.
Paul Martin, a General Inspector whose release was first reported by CNN on Monday, announced a report on Monday, warning that the freezing of Trump administration on all the side of help and moves to reduce the USAIDs staff left the control of humanitarian aid “to a great extent,” This is impossible to control $ 8.2 billion in relentless humanitarian funds.
General inspectors are usually independently funded by guards attached to government agencies and are in charge of exploiting waste, fraud and abuse. Martin is at least 18. General Inspector who has already fired Trump’s administration – Several companies of lawsuits on Wednesday, suing for re -establishment – Even as it is promised that a government of excess consumption will be released in a transparent way.
A sudden freezing administration for freezing foreign assistance also forces mass release of US suppliers and contractors for USAID, including 750 Furloughs at one company, according to Washington Chemonics International, who sued the Government on Tuesday. An organization representing 170 small US companies and the US lawyer’s chamber was among the groups that joined this legal challenge.
For Chemonics, one of the larger USAIDs partners, freezing financing meant $ 103 million unpaid invoices and nearly $ 500 million in medicines, food and other goods on USAIDs, according to a lawsuit.
Not delivering health goods “could lead to as many as 566,000 deaths from HIV/AIDS, malaria and dissatisfied needs for reproductive health, including 215,000 children’s deaths,” the lawsuit.
Musk defends access
Trump’s most powerful advisor, billionaire Elon Musk, rarely appeared in a white house on Tuesday to defend the fast and extensive cuts pushed by the Federal Government, accepting that there were mistakes and would be more.
USAID was the early target of the Musk Department of the Government Efficiency, which despite its title is not a full federal department. Democrats claimed that Musk, with several companies subject to regulation, is full of conflicts of interest and that his team did not receive security approval, even as he apparently approached the treasury data.
Musk said that in most cases there was no “dollar” blows “with USAID programs and initiatives. He accused USAID of influencing foreign elections “who were dubious,” without giving evidence to support his claim.
He also claimed that Doge’s work is divided on his website and on X, the Social Media Platforms owned by Musk. However, Doge website has no information, and the posts on X often lack a lot of details, including what programs are reduced to the organization approach.
In response to the question of false statements that the United States spent $ 50 million on Condoms for Gaza, Musk admitted that some of the claims he made about government programs made a mistake.
“Some things I say will be incorrect and need to be corrected. So no one can hit 1,000,” he said.
Trump called USAID “corrupt” and “incompetent.” On Tuesday, he signed an executive command, directing the federal agencies to “coordinate and consult” with Doge to reduce jobs and limit employment, according to a summary provided by the White House.
“The people voted for a great government reform. There should be no doubt about that,” Musk said. “That was in the campaign, the president spoke about it at every gathering.”
Government to accuse the staff of ‘disobedience’ in court
The US Association for Foreign Services and US Federation of Government employees claim in another lawsuit that Trump has no authority to close the agency without the approval of Congress.
American District Judge Carl Nichols will listen to these two federal working groups on Wednesday as well as administrations.
The axis of the executive commands of US President Donald Trump took over, resulted in 40 lawsuits, including one that successfully sought an emergency order to block access to the number of social security. Trump and his vice president say the move was illegal and they can neglect the command.
The groups of lawsuits claim that USAID breaks was unnecessarily cruel for their thousands of workers and devastating for people around the world who are cut off from pure water, medical care for rescue, education, training and more.
“This is full of crowds of almost all the staff of the entire agency,” said Karla Gilbrida, lawyer of the employee association, Judge last week.
Last week, Nichols agreed to block the command by giving thousands of foreign workers of USAIDs who had been put on administrative leave for 30 days to return to the US at a state expense. He quoted the statements of an agency employees who did not have a home in the US after a decade abroad, who faced withdrawing children with special needs from school at school and other difficulties.
In a statement on the eve of the hearing on Wednesday, Pete Marocco, the politically appointed to the USAIDs from Trump’s first term, is without evidence to describe workers who give up and resist administration commands to abruptly interrupt the funds for programs around the world and subjected a rigorous examination.
On the eve of “Fraud”, “Infinni” and “Disobedes”, new USAIDs leaders have ultimately found that setting up a considerable number of USAIDs on paid administrative leave was the only way to faithfully implement the break and spend full and unknown review of business and programs USAID, “Morocco states.
The USAID staff denies disobedience and invite the charges by saying that they are breaking more than a 60-year-old agency.
‘It’s too easy for us to peel us’

“They won’t go into agencies that do. They enter agencies they disagree,” Holtz-Eakin said.
With the USAID now, besides the dead, US President Donald Trump says that government efficiency Czar Elon Musk will move to federal consumption for education and even Pentagon-Koji has billions of contracts with Spacex owned by mosquitza.
