- US President Donald Trump has issued a warning to Democrats claiming they “can’t hide” from the USAID scandal.
The White House confirmed news outlet Politico received at least $8.2 million from the US government in recent years.
The President claimed billions of dollars have been “stolen” at USAID, and other agencies, with much of it going to the “fake news media” as a “payoff for creating good stories about the Democrats”.
Trump posted on Truth Social on Thursday, “LEFT WING “RAG,” KNOWN AS “POLITICO,” SEEMS TO HAVE RECEIVED $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!”
It is not "embarrassing" It is CRIMINAL.
Citizens paying taxes have a right to know where the money goes.
Not when they hate the citizens.
Exactly stop subsidy for oil, billionaires and Elonia!
WTF are these repliers even commenting about ? 😂😂
The USAID makes the mafia look like kids in a sandbox 😂😂😂😂
into democratic shell companies?
Now we know why there’s been disproportionately outrage over DOGE audits
$1.5 billion to fund Americans brainwashing FAILED😅
if i were a criminal and was getting caught i would b outraged also
Yes ! How dare they discover and expose our money laundering
Yes, because Musk is making stuff up, as usual.
@@ssuwandi3240 it was still pretty sucessful i mean have u seen all the people who still dont believe in what trump is doing? its ridiculous. He should have a 85+ percentage approval rating
God Bless President TRUMP! and DOGE!!!
And... may God bless the whole world, through our light. Protect and direct Mr President Trump and all in positions of power. May we enjoy some measure of peace and cooperation. Please, usher in a new golden age, in your name o Lord. Amen. 🙏
Do you think Elon Musk is the next Governor for California? 😂
We need Mr. Musk in Canada now. Please start with a Mr. Carney.
@@redburban1394 that's actually really funny!! 😂 Imagine the face on Newscumb
No. He’s got more important things to do.
Never thought in my lifetime I'd see the US government being audited. Amazing.
Actually, it is not being audited. Trump fired most of the inspector generals who do audits.
@@tombussio4979because they were not doing audits
Because they are crazy Dems puppets?@@tombussio4979
@tombussio4979 That means the new ones are right around the corner. It's not a gone position.
@@tombussio4979 lol Trump is literally dismantling the entrenched bureaucracy each day. It's an audit on the entire system.
One example of how politicians become millionaires on a $140k a year.
The USAID makes the mafia look like kids in a sandbox 😂😂😂😂
Make mafias great again
😂😂 Mafia crying
Actually, GEE Gee its the military that makes the mafia look like kids.
Politico got $30 million from different government agencies, including USAID. And suddenly they can't make payroll. Karma
Somebody got rich. Who? Follow the money.
Beautiful..
The organization has been completely funded by Dems in control. That's why it can no longer survive
@@John-jl9de Considering Politico is owned by a German or German company...
Wouldn't surprised me if the E.U was getting kickbacks as well.
they should be asking Kumula's campaign to cut them a check
Make them re-pay the money and send them to jail!!!
Absolutely 💯 NOW
I agree. Similar here in 🇦🇺 with $$$$ going to ‘agencies’ for what and why???? We need honesty and accountability for the tax payers $.
🙏🇦🇺🙏🇺🇸🙏🇮🇱🙏
The Truth will set U.S. free
Well played. 👍😁👍
@@valgilson6504 The Trump will set you free
I love your comment!
The world
Someone needs to go to prison .
Many someones.
@@ErnstvdB Several even.
Several someones!
Start with Schumer. He seems to be very vocal lately...
Numerous someones
No wonder the swamp media praised JB's policies. They were paid too.
Yes they were paid. I knew this all along. There was no other reason the MONEY to do what they did. Dems too! It was all about kickbacks!
I don't think they had to be paid to do so, they were rewarded for expressing opinions that they actually held. They would have heaped the same praise even if they weren't paid to do so -- the pay was a reward and helped them spread their influence further than it really would have extended otherwise.
@MarklTucson Everyone has their own opinion about what happened. Doesn't mean it's right.
@@scwps23 Don't disagree with you at all on that. It is absolutely not right. Imagine the howls of outrage if the left found that USAID under a Republican administration had funneled funds to Rush Limbaugh or other conservative media groups. This is so wrong -- we are finding that our government has been funding propaganda outlets -- we have our own Pravda and Izvestia.
The irony of some people getting more upset at the person exposing the corruption than the corruption itself is almost incomprehensible.
🎯💯
Isnt it?? We now live in a world where its honorable to lie but evil and disgusting to tell the truth. Its like the devil has taken over
The problem is the person stopping so called corruption is more corrupt himself and a convicted felon on many levels who is a wanna be dictator. Not to mention a pathological liar who thinks he is above the law.He needs to expose and drain himself along with the rest of the corruption.
@@John-d1m6m HAHAHAHAHAHAno.
I think the problem is the normal citizens freaking out arent aware of the scandal since the legacy media isnt reporting on any of the corruption (other than fox) im guessing if they knew alot of them wouldnt be protesting.
People need to go to jail for this
I worked over 38 years in the aerospace industry. I can guarantee you that if I, or others working with or for me, had mis-directed government contract funding like this to advocacy groups or other out of scope efforts we would have been fired and/or prosecuted for fraudulent use of government funds. Same would be true for any of my government customers directing the funding they were appropriated in such a manner.
Now, to be fair, I don't know what USAID's actual charter is and I don't think anybody actually does. Maybe their charter allows them to fund political advocacy groups, reward liberal media outlets and fund left-wing causes in foreign countries. But I would think that taxpayers should know that was their charter.
Arrest them!
Is this what transparency looks like, a government that’s working for its people and keeping us informed…
Follow the Money!
Having worked in various charity Orgs I can confirm once all the suits take their $200,000 a yr pays , rents, cars, fine dining, Exec Balls, not even 1% makes it to the needy, total shams
And that is for actual charity groups.
Most of the money seems to not even make it to a charity….
Plus maximizing volunteer workforce, sponsored pseudo jobs (work for dole) & employing the cheapest possible workers for any position below senior management. One store manager I knew had 5 years on maternity leave in 6 years.
This is why I advise people don’t give money to charity.
@@B61Mod12Case in point: That's why the endemically corrupt ANC government in South Africa is crying BLUE MURDER. Actively being engaged in an anti-American agenda using the American taxpayer's money to not only provide a free service that encourages the increase in AIDS cases to the highest in Africa, but plenty more finding it's way into the hands of a government whose shabby record for accountability speaks for itself.
P4K is a real charity helping the poor 97 % hits the ground. How ? Real charity with real volunteers in all positions
The recipients never got the money!!!!! Its STOLEN
His Cleaning up and exposing it all,Plenty more to come great job.
Agreed the idiot media bending over for their masters didn't see this one coming.
I wish he could clean up the ABC and SBS too, and their affiliates on the radio.
@@gisele.1488
That's onthe way! 😉
This isn't what I voted. It's way better.
$20 million to create an Iraqi version of Sesame Street was the best one. its astounding. It really is ? There are places in the world with no running water and they gave $20 million to Iraq for a children"s TV show. ?
Makes sense probably BIdens favorite tv show.
There are places in the USA with no running water, or polluted water. USA FIRST AND LAST. .
The USAID makes the mafia look like kids in a sandbox 😂😂😂😂
its insane how they plan to ruin games also as part of it
Won't be a Miss Piggy in the lineup I'll bet .
Cleaning the swamp. 🎉
He needs to look into the Aspen Institute too.
USAID: $280,000 for 'diverse bird watching groups'. Hahaha!!! (It's not really funny, that's hardworking Americans' money stolen from them by the govt)
imagine the kickbacks
and costing a compounding interest of $1 TRILLION every 90 days. EVERY country has something to learn from this legendary approach!
I wish those politicians involved in this were punished as TRAITORS TO AMERICA..
Literally stealing money from taxpayers but democraps will still find a way to justify 30% of their paycheck disappearing and 2 trillion being added to the debt causing hyperinflation where the poor actually starve and don’t feed their kids. Bur mur money printer! But socialism! We need money printer to go brr so the taxpayers can be given infinite money. They are so dumb its just laughable. They are so gullible to buy into these scams.
Just don’t ask what birds were being watched.
Follow the MONEY
It’s the greatest scandal of all time, the biggest in history, nobody’s ever seen a scandal like this.
There really needs to be legal charges, prosecutions, sentencing, and compensation. It must be aggressive!
This is utterly disgusting! My entire life I've been saying we need a business person in the WH! Run it like a proper business. It's not hard. Assemble budgets & stick to them or explain!
Yes, me too! Let a Capitalist head a capitalistic society instead of Marxists and Socialists (who have wanted to destroy Capitalism).
Perot
Yes!!! The left are all crooked attorneys, the right typically have been entrepreneurs.
FOTUS never did. Now all felons want the vote.
God bless President Trump and all of his supporters 🇺🇲✝️🙏🏽
Thank you. God bless you♥️
@10millimeterpeter Amen🙏🏽
Pam Bondi will be releasing Epstein black book!! Can’t wait for that can of worms.
So funds meant as foreign aid didn’t leave the country. Isn’t that fraud? Keep following the money. Let’s see who else benefited. Hopefully charges to follow.
This is sickening
I would have liked for Leavitt to tell that Politico reporter in the room, "You can go home now, you're not getting paid for this."
😂Best comment
I hope Leavitt announces that at least 3 more seats have now opened up for Indie media & podcasters to sit in, since Politico, NYTimes, and AP were exposed as being taxpayer Subsidized Media in the huge USAID scandal and are no longer worthy of their cushy front row seats.
It never ends with these democrats....thank you President Trump and team..
They have lost a ton of support. A lot of their big donors are very upset with how the election went down. It will take them decades to win back trust and it should. Now throw this USAID scandal on top of it, good night.
Send them to jail in Elsalvador
Can't spell TRIUMPH without TRUMP.
Exactly ❤❤❤
❤🎉🎉🎉
We need a doge here in Australia so we know exactly where our taxes are going
Absolutely but it won’t happen till we get a real leader like President Trump.
DOGE international
ABSOLUTELY!....But only if you get rid of everything leftist loony.
The unions would go broke if our Govt was audited.
Absolutely essential!
Money laundering
I'm thinking that's why the dems, including Chuckie Schumer are screaming so loud. They are afraid of what a deep-dive forensic audit is going to find and show the paths that money took and that they benefited somehow from that stream of funding.
It never made sense to me why mainstream media would not cover the left and right equally, news is news no matter where it comes from and so they should make an equal amount of money from each side, but now it all makes sense!
They only follow the 16 shychos cause they are scared of getting fired.
Because it is bought and owned by the left
Mmm.. if you watch those outlets you can easily tell they're being paid by the left
This, is EXACTLY what we voted for. I pray the rest of the world follows the U.S.'s example. Rip the rot and corruption from the government, and focus on building ourselves up to support ourselves. Should be everyone's goal, in my humble opinion. G'day, and may peace be upon us all. 🙏 Amen.
The rest of us are fked with no way out of it any time soon at least one country got out at least its something we can see
@foff3379 "When America sneezes, the rest of the world catches a cold."
Hopefully the opposite is true in this case? All we can do is pray, and make the right choices... regaurdless of the consequences. Be strong, friend. Don't ever give up. Courage is not a lack of fear, it is seeing the fear, and acting anyway. God bless.
@@foff3379The success of MAGA will have a profoundly positive effect on the world at large. People will see it can be done and will demand the same for their own country. Stay strong and keep the faith; better days are coming.
37$m to Chelsea Clinton no surprise there
For what????
...and millions to Harry and Megan.
@@gisele.1488 just the tip of the ice berg cheers
I saw 84 m
Chelsea, Harry and Megan are absolutely useless n they need to return that money immediately!!!!!!
The fleece of America
Some people need to go to jail !!
Isn’t this called money laundering??
Pam Bondi is going to be busy
Wait so we’ve been paying for our own division? That’s crazy.
Make them pay it back!
Fight fight fight
Expose,expose,expose,ELON❤
I’m an American taxpayer why the hell am I funding the BBC!?
All criminals.
All should be in prison.
The adults are running the show now
Not adults, rather people with integrity. There aren’t many left unfortunately. Go MAGA from Australia with love. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
That makes perfect sense now. No wonder the media is so mad about what is going on with USAID.
The BBC received USaid money too. They are curiously silent on reporting this scandal.
Biggest scandal this week.
Clean it up
I used to DREAD checking out the daily news. Now it’s the highlight of my day!!!😊😊😊
🎉 same!
Politico, nbc, abc, cbs, Reuters, plus several newspapers
Let's start looking into Labours spending here
Same thing will be happening here, audit the Australian government is well over due.
Definately🇦🇺
Make Australia Great Again !
Corporate WELFARE needs to be looked at too! They have been paying companies to use high fructose corn syrup in food!
RFK will be aaaall over corn syrup and GMO's. No other country will buy our GMO products, for a very good reason.
Celiac's disease, Gluten sensitivity, diabetes... all of these exploded when we introduced GMO. Especially GMO corn syrup... Make healthy foods great again! 👍
(And stop the subsidy of ethanol! We need to grow more sustainable crops that don't strip such high amounts of nitrogen from soil. Sustainable crop rotations will reduce the need for artificial nitrates.)
Follow the money and give it back to the tax payers
We need to pursuit a lawsuit against those who benefit especially the Democrats.
Claw back the money please
We need there NAMES
We better claw back All that money!!
🇺🇲😡
When you let DEI in they promote more DEI. Its not that complicated.
Wow ,that's absolutely corrupt as 😮😮,go Trump you're amazing 👏 🤩
Keep in mind these are the same politicians that told the elderly that we would have to take CUTS on our social security while they gave themselves raises during covid lock downs continuously !!!
WOW that should be criminal
Ask the so-called recipients if they did actually received the funds.
Thank God fir Trump & Elon
Can't wait to see what the headline is tomorrow in politico
Truth pains
The money USAID and other agencies spent was actual spending on services Politico provides. They're not grant or subsidies. It's for actual services they provide to the wider public. It's exactly the same as the government paying SpaceX to do stuff.
This is a nothing story and Trump is lying. The most cursory research confirms they are not grants.
The money should have gone to help the people of North Carolina and to the veterans. These criminals need to be hold accountable for misuse of tax payers hard working money!😡
Just wild
The dems 'house of cards' are falling hard!!!
Recover the past payments.
What a waste
Best President ever.
Transparency is good
47 Billion Dollars ??? Our government sucks !!!
$50 million dollars in *Chinese* made condoms to Gaza
Very samall condoms. So sad!
It has gone up to $100 Million. Trump says so.
why? why do US has to support them with condoms when US citizens live in poverty .
@@TheStonecoldlancelot I was thinking that too 😂
Even in Africa, USAID buys condom for everyone... I knew this when I worked in Ethiopia 😅😅😅
Oh Trump and Musk are just getting started.
Props: solid analysis of our sitch by the Aussies, luv u guys
Hello Sky News from Gaffney, South Carolina. Thank you Gabrielle for true news. 😊
When they spend $100 million to send food to the 3rd world about $2 million worth of it makes it to the citizens in need. I knew this as a teenager back in the 1990s. A lot of aid to Ukraine has ended up buying Lambos and real estate. How is this not common knowledge?
How is it, that the high level, widespread corruption has not been discovered and dealt with long before now? 😡😡😡 The poor suffering taxpayer has been screwed over for centuries in one form or another. This is unadulterated theft and those responsible must be held accountable!!
A business approach, hmm am liking this new model of government…
Not one Democrat daring to show their face to try to justify their corruption. Surely there's at least one honest Democrat to show their outrage that their party was doing so many corrupt activities.
🎯
No, not one.
I get better news from you guys than any network in the USA. I like that you guys are involved with our country more than domestic networks.
Corruption
! All freaking FIRE UP.♛ ♛Thank You. for your video information NEWS. Great Journalism.♛
Politico is Goneico
8 million dollars for News Media! Meanwhile we have foster kids in government facilities living pretty close to how we treat prisoners. I bet 8 million dollars would buy enough beds, clothes, food, and care workers so that our children have a fighting chance. Or I bet 8 million dollars would go a long way to help family who have lost everything (be it in a disaster or job lay offs or price increases without pay increases) to find affordable sustainable housing and job training and placement to get those who want off the street off. Or I bet 8 million dollars would have gone a long way to help addicts with medical detox (not just shoving Suboxone and methadone down their throat) and actual medical care and counciling, again for those who want a second chance. I mean I just named three things that 8 million dollars would go a long way towards. But, we are told, there's not enough money to help. Or there is more important things that need money. Well I guess we just figured out what was more important than the citizens
Us taxpayers don't GAF about the infrastructure, illnesses and poverty in foreign countries when there millions of our homeless suffering massive hardships, and trillions of dollars in property damages from floods, hurricanes and fires. All these millions of dollars of USAID foreign aid funds need to be focused back into THIS country.
Africa is a bottomless pit and will remain so irrespective of how much aid money gets thrown at it. In fact the aid is the BIGGEST single factor encouraging further dependance and lack of ACTUAL self development.
Follow the money, money doesn't lie!
❤️ Trump he's awesome
Yes, this is how you Make America Great Again!
An audit needs to be done on every organization that has access to American tax payer funds on a yearly bases. We the American people want to know where our money is going, how much and to who is receiving it.
Fleecing and corruption at the highest levels
I wonder why they are protesting when they are corrupted while the ones who arent corrupted are not protesting against these ppl to be convicted of criminal acts.. such irony
Ohh this just gets better every day … let the justice begin !!!
Make them all pay us back!!!
JUST WOW‼️ So grateful 🙏 Anyone who voted Trump saw that Elon was going to Audit the 🇺🇸 government. We deserve to know where our taxes are being WASTED!
