Just found this in my morning's email.
Seems that US Taxpayer money going to USAID was in turn funneled to many non-foreign aid uses and many such were against the USA's best interest.
Some was going to Soros to help finance his foul agenda.
This may explain why so many are up in arms over what Trump and Musk are doing via DOGE. They are pulling back the veil on what could be considered REAL felonies, and some "heads may roll".

Unmasking How ‘Foreign Aid Undermined US Interests’

America’s foreign aid programs have often failed to place U.S. interests first, or have even worked contrary to U.S. interests, according to The Daily Signal’s Tyler O’Neil, author of “The Woketopus: The Dark Money Cabal Manipulating the Federal Government.”
“The Left’s dark money network has deep ties to [the United States Agency for International Development],” which has rightly received renewed scrutiny under [the Department of Government Efficiency] and after Elon Musk shined a light on it,” O’Neil said while testifying Wednesday before the House Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency.

The House panel’s hearing, titled “America Last: How Foreign Aid Undermined U.S. Interests Around the World,” examined the use of taxpayer funds, which the subcommittee’s chairwoman, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., says USAID has misused to further left-wing ideologies abroad.
“The Democrat-run USAID should not get to use our federal government, our U.S. taxpayer dollars, as their party piggy bank to push their radical agenda in countries that we have no business giving money to,” Greene said in her opening statement.
The government has forced the “American people to pay for the demise of their own country,” Rep. Michael Cloud, R-Texas, said at Wednesday’s hearing.
“We’ve seen this a number of times, especially in how foreign aid is treated, and much of this funding, we’re realizing now, as Mr. O’Neil has pointed out, we’re uncovering is the world’s largest money laundering scheme in history.”
...
O’Neil calls this leftist agenda-driven allocation of resources a direct result of the of the “Left’s dark money network.”
...
In my remarks, I will present three examples of how the Left’s dark money network intersects with just one agency focused on foreign aid, the U.S. Agency for International Development. The views I will express in this testimony are my own.
The Left’s dark money network features George Soros and his Open Society Foundations, the Tides Foundation, and the network of nonprofits established by Arabella Advisors.
These groups, which you can see on this chart, funnel cash to DEI, transgender, and climate alarmist causes, divisive issues that the Biden administration prioritized over addressing the concrete needs of the American people.
...
While the Open Society Foundations has stated that it does not receive funds from USAID or direct USAID’s spending, the Soros-founded nonprofit has a long history with USAID. In 2001, the Soros Foundations Network, which became Open Society, listed USAID among its donor partners. Open Society and USAID have jointly funded the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project, a news outlet that attacked conservatives for, you guessed it, criticizing Soros.
Open Society and USAID also jointly fund the East West Management Institute. Among other things, the institute launched court changes in Albania that critics allege resulted in the prosecution of Albanian opposition leader Sali Berisha, silencing the opponent of the country’s socialist prime minister.
Open Society has hired at least five former USAID staff, including at least one high-level official who worked at USAID providing services amid political transitions in foreign countries. Former USAID Administrator Samantha Power met at least twice with Open Society leaders. USAID has directly funded a different organization in the Left’s dark money network, the Tides Center.
