Newly unearthed documents suggest the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) provided full funding for Anwar al-Awlaki, a prominent al Qaeda figure, to attend Colorado State University. The documents indicate al-Awlaki fraudulently claimed Yemeni citizenship to qualify for an exchange visa and scholarship. This revelation adds to the scrutiny facing USAID, which has been accused of questionable funding practices in recent years.
The U.S. Agency for International Development reportedly provided 'full funding' for al Qaeda terrorist Anwar al-Awlaki to attend college in Colorado, unearthed documents apparently show. Al-Awlaki was an American-born jihadist who was killed in a drone strike in Yemen in 2011, during the Obama administration. He was a central figure of al Qaeda, including having direct contact with Army psychiatrist Nidal Hasan before he opened fire at Fort Hood, Texas, in 2009, killing 13 people, U.S.
Trump said during an interview with Fox News' Bret Baier, which aired Sunday, that DOGE and his administration remain on a mission to cut government waste. 'We have to solve the efficiency problem,' Trump said. 'We have to solve the fraud, waste, abuse, all the things that have gone into the government. You take a look at the USAID, the kind of fraud in there.'
