The Trump administration removed from the work of two high -ranking heads of the United States Security Service for International Development (USAID). According to the Associated Press, the reason was their refusal to provide access to secret materials to the inspectory groups of entrepreneur Ilon Mask.
According to the acting and former American officials on the basis of anonymity, the USAID security managers - John Vorhis and his deputy Brian McGill - were obliged to refuse to access secret materials under the law, since the members of the DOGE organization ("Department of State Efficiency") did not have a mask sufficient level of admission to secret information.
Despite the initial refusal, on Saturday, the DOGE team still managed to access the classified information of the agency, including intelligence. This incident occurred a day after DOGE conducted a similar operation at the Ministry of Finance, gaining access to confidential information, including social security payments and Medicare.
Earlier, federal firefighters of the United States received unexpected letters from the personnel service department with a proposal to quit until the end of September. These notifications were sent as part of the upcoming large -scale reduction of federal employees related to attempts by the Donald Trump administration to optimize government spending.
The non -state organization DOGE was created by Ilon Mask in cooperation with the new administration of Trump, it is not the real department of the US government. Its declared goal is to find opportunities for the dismissal of federal employees, reduce financing of state programs and reduce federal regulation.
