Rep. Comer to Newsmax: Stop Giving Govt Orgs Blank Checks

Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., told Newsmax Monday he applauds President Donald Trump’s decision to shut down the USAID.

Staffers of the U.S. Agency for International Development were instructed to stay out of the agency’s Washington headquarters on Monday, according to a notice distributed to them, after billionaire Elon Musk announced the president agreed with him to close the agency in accordance with the Department of Government Efficiency, which Musk runs.
