A group of Senate and House Democrats were blocked from entering the headquarters of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) on Monday.

The Democratic lawmakers, who are opposed to President Trump’s efforts to shut down the agency, left without incident after a brief exchange with security officials. The group, led by Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), were told the front office of the administrator of USAID was not available to meet.

A select group of USAID employees with the front office administrator were in the office Monday, an official told lawmakers outside the doors, but were not free to meet with the lawmakers.

The USAID website went dark over the weekend, as information was moved to the State Department’s website and employees were told to telework.

It’s become clear that usaid is a bagman agency for nefariously funding leftist causes.

It needs to die yesterday.

Exactly, this one caught them flat footed, that is why the guy running it refused at first to allow access.

They are terrified of what will be exposed now and they have no way to manage it.

I seem to recall when Republicans were not allowed in to the jail where they were holding J6 prisoners.
