What Happened When Trump Officials Destroyed USAID (From Reveal)
This week, we’re presenting a conversation with ProPublica reporters that originally aired on Reveal’s podcast “More to the Story.” When the administration and DOGE cut off funding to USAID, administration officials claimed that aid was still flowing and no one had died as a result. Reporters Brett Murphy and Anna Maria Barry-Jester learned that wasn’t true and traveled to South Sudan and Kenya to find out what really happened. If you have information on foreign aid, contact Murphy here and Barry-Jester here.Read the original reporting here: https://www.propublica.org/article/kenya-trump-usaid-world-food-program-starvation-children-deathshttps://www.propublica.org/article/usaid-cholera-deaths-trump-humanitarian-aid-cuts-south-sudan
