Over 50 senior USAID employees have been placed on administrative leave with pay, following allegations of attempts to circumvent Trump’s executive orders.

The move aligns with a 90-day freeze on U.S. foreign aid imposed by Trump to reassess its compliance with his foreign policy goals.

The State Department and USAID have paused nearly all assistance during the review.

Acting Administrator Jason Gray confirmed the suspensions as part of an investigation into suspected non-compliance.
