Ivanka Trump used over $11,000 from the department in 2019 to buy video recording and reproducing equipment for a White House event.

Ivanka Trump used money from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) for recording equipment for a White House event, USAID documents show.

Newsweek has contacted representatives of Ivanka Trump for comment via email.

Why It Matters​

The revelation that Ivanka Trump's initiatives used USAID funds for events comes at a time when the agency itself is facing increased scrutiny. With discussions underway about potentially shutting down USAID or significantly restructuring its budget, how the agency allocated its funds—especially during the Trump administration—is under the microscope.

It comes amid the Trump administration's drive to end all diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI) initiatives across the federal government, with Trump issuing an executive order on his first day in office ordering a sweeping dismantling of the federal government's diversity and inclusion programs. Republicans have claimed that money allocated towards DEI by USAID is wasteful.

According to USAID documents, Ivanka Trump used over $11,000 from the department in 2019 to buy video recording and reproducing equipment for a White House event.

The documents show $11,539 was to used by Trump in November 2019 to purchase software, CDs, tapes and records.

The purchase was approved by Jenifer Healy, who was serving as USAID deputy chief of staff at the time, and the Administrator's Office. It is not clear which White House event the equipment was used for.

It's amazing to watch...The full propaganda operation is in full swing on networks like ABC this morning.

Parading out different contractors, like a save the puppies ad, they are giving supposedly heart rending stories of how Ukrainians won't be able to get firewood because of this....Poppycock...

Stories like this:

"Many of [the foreign service nationals] have worked for USAID for 20-30 years," said one USAID official stationed in the Democratic Republic of Congo. "It's impossible to explain to them what is going on. It breaks their faith in America. We are going to lose thousands of our best friends and allies."

In a different African country, staff met earlier in the week to begin choreographing their departure, a local USAID official recalled.

"The meeting today with local staff was rough," the official said. "The ambassador was there, and folks were crying. It was extremely sad. Both the mission director and the deputy mission director were also in tears."

Why is it my responsibility to secure 30 year jobs for someone else that should be doing for themselves?

People are gonna die because of this. Already are some places.

You are supporting their murder.

My DD-214s say different and that monthly check from Uncle Sam let's Elon know I exist also. You don't matter.

good find.

now, how about a list of ALL DC insiders that have used USAID for pet projects, Dem and Pub alike?

 

[Mr. Friscus]

As they should

Republicans are willing to let millions die to placate Trump

You were killing millions and now we’re not going to be. Shame on you, you needed to be stopped

 

[Deplorable Yankee]

Looking forward to the super bowl commercials

 

[d0gbreath]

As they should

Republicans are willing to let millions die to placate Trump

I'm willing to let trump die to placate billions.

 

[d0gbreath]

So WTF does the WHO do with all its money? The US is not the world's healthcare guarantor. We are $37b in DEBT

It's 37 trillion.

 

[MagicMike]

No stupid, we are $35 trillion in debt.

And we can thank Trump's last disastrous term for a large part of that debt.

The national debt has risen by almost $7.8 trillion during Trump’s time in office. That’s nearly twice as much as what Americans owe on student loans, car loans, credit cards and every other type of debt other than mortgages, combined, according to data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. It amounts to about $23,500 in new federal debt for every person in the country.

Donald Trump Built a National Debt So Big (Even Before the Pandemic) That It’ll Weigh Down the Economy for Years

The “King of Debt” promised to reduce the national debt — then his tax cuts made it surge. Add in the pandemic, and he oversaw the third-biggest deficit increase of any president.

Biden added another $8T, so what's your point?

What?

 

[debbiedowner]

good find.

Why don't you find those you old fart?

Oh, while you're at it see if you can find who's investigating Musk's billions of dollars in govt contracts. If they haven't disappeared.

nah

I'm going to sit here and let you pretend it was ONLY the Trumps that misused USAID funds.

it's SOOO much fun.

 

[OKTexas]

What?

Do you have 11,000 dollars you can give me?

.

 

[j-mac]

Nonsense...

Scare tactics no longer work. America has voted against the global welfare system. We don't have the money.

 

[j-mac]

Note: I got some BS alert that my OP was deleted on this thread, with the reason stated "Careful of the direction I am going"..... And what's particularly cowardly about this anonymous alert is that who ever posted that to my alerts didn't even have the guts to let me know who they were....

 

[j-mac]

My DD-214s say different and that monthly check from Uncle Sam let's Elon know I exist also. You don't matter.

Yeah, I served too....How long ago did you serve?
