USAID Inspector General fired
Blaze:
The inspector general tasked with monitoring spending habits at the controversial U.S. Agency for International Development is now out of a job.
On Tuesday evening, Trent Morse, deputy director of the White House Office of Presidential Personnel, emailed USAID Inspector General Paul Martin to let him know that he had been "terminated, effective immediately."
Though Morse did not provide a reason for Martin's termination, it is likely tied to the rampant waste, fraud, and abuse Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency appear to have uncovered at the agency. According to the DOGE, USAID — dedicated to distributing American tax dollars to foreign countries — spent billions on leftist, anti-American pet projects ranging from "trans-led" and "gender-affirming" organizations in Guatemala to a Hamas-linked charity in Gaza to DEI scholarships in Burma, as Blaze News previously reported.
No one else from Martin's office was terminated, though staff no longer have access to the building, CBS News reported. The USAID website has likewise gone dark, and many employees have been sacked. The apparent corruption runs so deep that Musk referred to the agency as a "criminal organization."
Inspectors general are considered independent watchdogs who oversee various federal agencies to curtail waste, fraud, and abuse. Trump had already fired at least 17 IGs in his first few weeks in office, but Martin was not among them — until now.
...
Waste, fraud, and abuse are generally a firing offense. USAID appears to have been poorly run and ineffective. Their expenditures look pretty wacky.
