Summary
A Congressional Research Service report states Trump lacks the authority to abolish USAID, as congressional approval is required.
It explains that a 1998 law briefly allowed reorganization but expired in 1999. While past administrations have modified USAID’s functions, they consulted Congress.
Lawmakers are concerned about Trump’s executive order pausing foreign aid and potential USAID-State Department consolidation.
This actually tells me that Biden, to the very last, still didn’t understand that Trump doesn’t believe in the system. If Trump wants to prosecute Hunter Biden, does anyone really think that these pardons will stop him? In a non-bizarro world, sure, maybe, but those pardons are going to mean about as much as we Kleenex to Trump’s DOJ. ALSO, Biden didn’t understand that Trump is really not interested in going after rich people as long as they stay out of his way. Trump got elected and basically instantly forgot about Hillary, never even bothered trying to prosecute her. I think we’ll probably never hear anything else about the Bidens except for rants on social media.
