DOGE Investigates Clinton’s USAID Funding Amid Tensions with Trump Administration
A recent online clash between Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has brought attention to the work of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in identifying potential wasteful spending within USAID.
Duffy, responding to Clinton’s criticism of his leadership, highlighted DOGE’s role in uncovering “extreme grifting” by the Clinton family through USAID funding.
Clinton had questioned the qualifications of DOGE personnel, especially regarding their involvement in aviation system upgrades, following fatal crashes during Duffy’s tenure.
She argued that the team lacked relevant experience to address issues with airline safety.
Duffy fired back, blaming Washington bureaucrats for the country’s infrastructure problems and accusing Clinton of deflecting attention from her family’s alleged misuse of taxpayer resources.
The back-and-forth escalated further as Duffy emphasized that his department was focused on improving safety and infrastructure through innovative technology, asserting that the previous administration failed to deliver results.
Duffy also addressed broader transportation issues, including rail accidents and Boeing aircraft incidents, stating that restoring confidence in the nation’s aviation system was a top priority.
Amid these tensions, Duffy confirmed that his team would allow investigations into Tesla’s safety technology, acknowledging the challenges in the current system but emphasizing the need for tough reforms.
As these issues continue to unfold, the investigation into USAID spending and the ongoing debates over transportation safety have become central topics in the political landscape.
