Former US International Development Agency (USAID) The director appeared on Fox News on Wednesday to reveal details of what he said was the agency’s misused resources and deeply rooted corruption.
This dates back to the early days of the Trump administration, former manager Mark Moyal, who took office in February 2018. It has been recounted“Jesse Watters Primetime,” what he said was an agency culture ingrained inefficiency and medical malpractice, starting with an unconventional orientation exercise that labeled him as a Scandinavian woman on the “Privilege Walk.” Ta. The exercise was intended to highlight systematic privileges and shortcomings, and instead served as a prelude to deeper questions that plague USAID.
“So I got there in February. We have something called a privilege walk as part of an orientation where you were given an identity. I was a Scandinavian woman. And they did these things. When I read, they read the lines that I would be discriminated against because the government services and people didn’t see what I looked like,” Moyar told Watters. “So you took a step forward if it was applied and if it wasn’t. And I finally went near the front and indigenous people with unnecessary pregnancy and male prostitutes. We talked about our privileges as the woman was on the other side.”
The former manager explained how USAID reused initiatives that were superficially consistent with the goals of the first Trump administration, under the guise of national interests and counter-terrorism.
“They are very effective at rebranding things, so in the first Trump administration, there were priorities. [to] They will support the national interests as they do now. Another thing was to counter terrorism and promote independence. So I went to the country and to give an example, they had a feminist women’s book club launched under the Obama administration, and they now say this is an anti-terrorist program. “I think feminist women are important fighters in the fight, so terrorism,” Moyar said when asked about how agents disguise the project.
The manager’s tenure at USAID was characterized by his attempts to combat these issues. He said he reported his subordinates due to a criminal conflict of interest. However, the response was discouraged.
“The first sign of disappointment was what I was told. Most people here don’t want to report corruption.” Now they didn’t tell me why. Later, I realized it was because you got into a lot of trouble. So I was accused of publishing the classified information and what I wrote two years ago, which I have never been exposed to previous questions,” says Moyar. “And they eventually used it to fire me. People who were engaged in corruption now were able to protect their jobs. So there’s a culture of corruption, and it’s corrupt. If you criticize it, we will come after you.”
Moyar also said what he said was a trend in USAID where accountability is often circumvented and transparency is often hampered.
“So they fired me on the basis of this false accusation. And I have been trying to get them to turn the facts over the last three years. And this is of course, a lot of Senator Ernst, for example, for example. What we saw in the case of: They refuse to take over information to the court or members of the parliament, and this is why people get tired of it,” added Moyar.

Moyar then discussed the Ministry of Government Efficiency’s efforts to restructure the USAID.
“From what I’ve seen so far, they seem to do a good job. I think you’ll need a forensic accountant to get in there, and these bureaucrats hide their money. It will probably take a long time because we have come up with a very crafty way to do it,” Moyar added.
President Donald Trump and Elon Musk disrupt USAID by closing their offices on Monday and declaring an imminent closure of the agency. After Musk announced on X-Space Chat that he and Trump had decided to close USAID, the administration directed employees to telework from the agency Ronald Reagan Building. By Monday afternoon, Secretary of State Marco Rubio had intervened as acting superintendent. Republican Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst also said that USAID members have even threatened her attempts to oversee how the agency distributes money.
