Gregg Roman, executive director of the Middle East Forum (MEF), called on Congress to launch a criminal investigation of federal officials and charity leaders who knowingly dispensed foreign aid to terror-linked organizations.
The hearing came on the heels of an MEF report from Sam Westrop, director of Islamist Watch, exposing terror finance at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
The multi-year study was the result of MEF research and advocacy seeking USAID reform and going back to the Obama administration. Roman warned that over $164 million in approved grants—$122 million of which ended up supporting radical and terror-tied organizations—were funneled through USAID’s foreign aid program. This includes entities linked to Hamas, Hezbollah, and Al-Qaeda affiliates.
“It’s not just about fraud, waste, or abuse,” said Roman. “It’s a threat to American national security, and potentially criminal, and this committee should take action to ensure that the Department of Justice acts on it and does everything in Congress’s power to not just investigate, but to refer criminal actions to the proper authorities."

Comment:
Now that we have President Trump back in the Oval Office, the right action will be taken.
A recent report has revealed shocking information indicating that the U.S. State Department found it acceptable to channel taxpayer money to the Taliban despite the group being a designated terrorist organization.
This deeply troubling decision raises serious questions about former President Joe Biden’s approach to foreign policy, particularly following the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021. Some argue that this move not only undermines national security but also disrespects the sacrifices made by U.S. service members, all while empowering a regime that oppresses its people and destabilizes the region.
According to a report by the Department of Defense (DOD) inspector general released this week, it revealed that $1.8 million in taxpayer dollars was used to empower Afghanistan’s Islamic terror regime.
The alarming aspect is that this amount was just a tiny fraction of what the Biden administration used to incite terrorism.
USAID was a cesspool of corruption, money laundering, and anti-Republican propaganda and censorship activity.
We all have seen the billions that went out the door to fund left-wing activism, European and American censorship groups, foreign journalist propaganda aimed not just at foreign citizens but Americans as well.
“The real purpose is to launder money, accumulate power, and gaslight the American people.”
Yes, our corrupt “betters” have perfected the art of using our tax money to con and control us.
Elon Musk gave another example of this in his interview with Joe Rogan, explaining how George Soros “games the system” by starting up NGOs (a small investment) and then the government (through agencies such as USAID) funds them.
As Mark Mitchell (of Rasmussen) put it, “they are the core of the parasite that almost killed this country…the host.”
