Evidence of mis-directed U.S. tax dollars is growing wider and deeper as investigators within and without government keep digging.

WASHINGTON—House DOGE Subcommittee Chairman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and other members of the panel will hear details on Wednesday about how $122 million in approved U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) funding was given to radical Islamic terrorist groups, including affiliates of Hamas, Hezbollah, and al-Qaeda.

Middle East Forum (MEF) Executive Director Gregg Roman said he will testify that “there’s a fox loose in the henhouse of our foreign aid system” before the panel’s Feb. 26 hearing focusing on “America Last: How Foreign Aid Undermined U.S. Interests Around the World.

“This problem began under the Obama administration, grew under the Biden administration, and now requires immediate action to halt dangerous mismanagement and a fatal moral confusion,” Roman said in a statement made available to The Epoch Times.

That USAID is directing tax dollars to terrorist groups and their affiliates that are committed to the destruction of the United States and its allies is not merely mismanagement, according to Roman.

“We’re not just talking about waste, fraud, and abuse—this is a national security problem,” Roman said. “Every misdirected dollar destabilizes conflict zones and puts American lives at risk.”

The MEF is a Philadelphia-based nonprofit think tank that focuses on defending American interests across the Middle East.

Two other witnesses will be from The Heritage Foundation—Max Primorac, a former USAID official who is a senior research fellow for the conservative think tank, and Tyler O’Neill, managing editor of Heritage’s Daily Signal media outlet.

The DOGE Subcommittee is part of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee chaired by Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.). The DOGE panel was formed in response to President Donald Trump’s creation of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) overseen by Tesla and SpaceX entrepreneur Elon Musk.

DOGE has dispatched hundreds of mostly young digital “whiz kids” to conduct forensic audits of federal spending at all federal departments and agencies. Among the first agencies to be examined was USAID.

“What the DOGE team has uncovered with USAID is shocking, but it’s just the tip of the iceberg,” Greene said in a statement announcing the hearing.

“For decades now, the federal government has been sending billions after billions of dollars to push left-wing ideology, fund radical extremist groups, and usurp the will of the people abroad and here at home.”
