💨 Abstract

A USAID official has directed the agency's staff to destroy documents, including sensitive and classified ones, at the agency's former headquarters in Washington. The destruction includes personnel documents and materials from classified safes. The effort, which is unprecedented according to a former employee, is part of the Trump administration's dismantling of USAID, which once managed a $40 billion annual budget and had over 10,000 employees worldwide.
