Does that name ring a bell to anybody in the room? Because your money, your money, $697 million annually, plus the shipments of cash funds in Madrasas, ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, ISIS Khorasan, terrorist training camps. That\u2019s what it\u2019s funding,\u201d Perry said.<\/p>\n<p>According to the subcommittee\u2019s website, it will \u201cactively work with President Trump\u2019s Department of Government Efficiency to root out waste, shore up vulnerable payment systems, and fully investigate schemes to defraud taxpayers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Perry further cited USAID\u2019s reported funding of $136 million for building 120 schools in Pakistan, alleging that there was \u201czero evidence\u201d of the schools\u2019 construction.<\/p>\n<p>Perry added, \u201d If you think that the programme under Operation Enduring Sentinel entitled Women\u2019s Scholarship Endowment, which receives $60 million annually, or the Young Women Lead, which gets about $5 million annually, is going to women who, by the way, if you read the Inspector General\u2019s report, is telling you that the Taliban does not allow women to speak in public, yet somehow you\u2019re believing, and American people are supposed to believe, that this money is going for the betterment of the women in Afghanistan. It is not.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou are funding terrorism, and it\u2019s coming through USAID. And it\u2019s not just Afghanistan, because Pakistan\u2019s right next door.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUSAID spent $840 million in the last year, the last 20 years, on Pakistan\u2019s education-related programme. It includes $136 million to build 120 schools, of which there is zero evidence that any of them were built. Why would there be any evidence? The Inspector General can\u2019t get in to see them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut you know what? We doubled down and spent $20 million from USAID to create educational television programs for children unable to attend the physical school. Yeah, they can\u2019t attend it, because it doesn\u2019t exist. You paid for it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSomebody else got the money. You are paying for terrorism. This has got to end.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>US President Donald Trump has previously called for the closure of USAID, accusing the agency of corruption in a post on his Truth Social platform.<\/p>\n<p>The move is part of Trump\u2019s\u2013and his billionaire ally Elon Musk\u2019s\u2013drive to reduce the size and cost US government.<\/p>\n<p>Musk, whom Trump appointed to lead the Department of Government Efficiency, has also criticised USAID, alleging that it engages in rogue operations.<\/p>\n<p>Musk has called USAID \u201ca viper\u2019s nest of radical-left Marxists who hate America\u201d and has vowed to shut it down.<\/p>\n<p>Among other criticisms, which Musk has claimed that USAID does \u201crogue CIA work\u201d and even \u201cfunded bioweapon research, including COVID-19, that killed millions of people.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>He disclosed that funds that are doled out to foreign entities under the pretext of providing humanitarian
