US DOGE committee discusses how US Aid funded and allowed Hamas to Survive until the ceasefire

The committee published five minutes of testimony by Gregg Roman executive director of the Middle East Forum. and Max Primorac Former Acting COO of USAID, exposing how U.S. taxpayer dollars are being funneled to terrorist groups via USAID. Here are some of the most shocking moments:

"... US assistance to Gaza underwrote Hamas' ability to survive until the ceasefire was passed"

"International NGOs (including UN) are lobbying against USAID vetting" (paraphrased)

"They bring together groups, that oversee groups, that kill americans"

“90% of U.S. aid sent through agents in Gaza ended up in Hamas-controlled areas. This is beyond absurd. In effect, American assistance kept Hamas afloat until the ceasefire was pushed through weeks ago.”

Rep. Burchett: “Could it be that emergency aid was actually arming terrorists to kill civilians?”

Mr. Roman: “That’s correct. And it goes even further—Samantha Power, the USAID administrator, was actively working to prevent Israel from defending itself.”

Samantha Jane Power (born September 21, 1970) is an Irish-American journalist, diplomat, and government official who served as the Administrator of the United States Agency for International Development from 2021 to 2025. In January 2021, Joe Biden nominated Power to head the United States Agency for International Development. Her nomination was confirmed by the US Senate on April 28, 2021

“USAID has essentially created a self-sustaining lobbying machine—funding external groups that turn around and demand even more money for USAID from Congress.”

EDIT: Clarification to the people who did not read the post. This isn't a press release from a Musk acolyte, it's sworn testimony under oath from heads of organizations and departments qualified to speak on the issue. This has nothing to do with DOGE, it is discussing specific incidents of USAID money going to terror groups unvetted, in contravention of US law.
