Norm Eisen’s USAID Conflict of Interest — Family Profits While He Sues
Citizen Watch Report ^ | Alex Mark

Posted on 02/19/2025 7:02:34 AM PST by davikkm

Norm Eisen's ongoing lawsuits against Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) are drawing scrutiny—and not just because of the high-profile figures involved. It turns out, Eisen’s own family ties are raising serious questions about conflict of interest. His daughter, Tamar Eisen, worked as a Program Officer for the National Democratic Institute (NDI)—a non-profit organization that has been on the receiving end of millions in USAID funding.

It doesn’t stop there. The NDI has been the recipient of substantial USAID grants, including a hefty $32.3 million for the “Electoral Empowerment of CSO Project.” Now, just as Norm Eisen’s lawsuits against USAID-related projects intensify, NDI mysteriously wipes its page that once proudly admitted to its USAID funding. Funny how that’s happening at the same time questions about transparency and possible conflicts of interest are surfacing.

Let’s break this down: NDI, the organization where Tamar worked, is known for its focus on strengthening democratic institutions worldwide. They claim to work with Western governments, but the key player here is USAID, which funds a substantial chunk of their operations. And guess what? USAID happens to be the very target of Norm Eisen’s lawsuits. So, we’re looking at a clear-cut case of conflict of interest. How can someone like Eisen, a key figure in lawsuits targeting USAID, be so closely connected to an organization that receives millions in funding from the very entity he’s fighting against?

Guys like this are smart, so it will be hard to pin anything that’s actually criminal on him…but the DoJ shouldn’t fail for lack of trying. Now that it’s known that there’s already a conflict of interest, that could easily be the basis to begin an investigation that wouldn’t be a pure fishing expedition. That, or investigate the daughter to get leverage on him.
