Trump says USAID run by "lunatics" as Dems demand answers on DOGE visit

"Following reports that Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) representatives accessed the U.S. Agency for International Development's (USAID) D.C. headquarters, American citizens' data and classified spaces, Senate Democrats wrote to Secretary of State Marco Rubio to demand answers.

The latest: Elon Musk said he's spoken with President Trump about USAID and "he agreed" that "we should shut it down."

When asked for comment on USAID, Trump told reporters Sunday evening: "It's been run by a bunch of radical lunatics, and we're getting them out, and then we'll make a decision" on its future.
