Who is Samantha Power? Meet the Biden-era USAID leader facing backlash amid Musk's DOGE crackdown
Fox News ^ | Feb 5, 2024 | Andrew Mark Miller

Posted on 02/06/2025 7:30:09 AM PST by McGruff

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has recently become the target of Elon Musk’s DOGE efforts to slash government waste and spending, bringing increased scrutiny to the record of Samantha Power, the agency’s administrator during almost the entire Biden administration.

Power, who previously served as the United States ambassador to the United Nations from 2013 to 2017 in the Obama administration after serving on his National Security Council, took the reins of USAID in the early days of the Biden administration and was tasked with overseeing the tens of billions of dollars budgeted for foreign aid.

...

Critics also took issue with her repeatedly meeting with influential liberal foundations while serving in her role at USAID, which Fox News Digital reported in 2023, included George Soros' Open Society Foundations at least two times, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation at least five times, and meetings with several other powerful groups like Ford and Rockefeller foundations.

Her name has surfaced several times in the past for shady activities. I believe she was unmasking enemies of democrats in intelligence documents.

Good ‘n Hard! I’ll never forget her antisemitic treachery when she was Bammy’s UN rep.

Yep

“ Power was directly involved in the Obama administration’s surveillance of Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and sought to obtain Michael Flynn’s redacted identity using an “unmasking” request on at least seven occasions, Fox News Digital previously reported, despite testifying under oath before the House Intelligence Committee that she had “no recollection” of ever making such a request even once.”

It absolutely figures that wretched leftist skank Samantha Power is neck deep in the USAID crime operation.

Great idea. And there’s no reason to stop just because she answers all the questions. ;-)

“...the tens of billions of dollars budgeted for foreign aid.”

I said the other day that all of these ‘revelations’ from Team Trump were making me sick to my stomach. Even those of us that PAY ATTENTION couldn’t have imagined how bad things have gotten!

This one is the worst so far. Ugh!

Generational Taxpayer Funded Money Laundering by our Selected Leaders. Plain and simple. *SPIT*
