#MarcoRubio, the sec of #state, said Mon that he is the acting administrator of the #USAID, the govt #humanitarian #aid agency that had been targeted for closure by #ElonMusk. On a trip to El Salvador, Rubio told reporters that many of the agency’s aid programs were worthwhile & would continue under the State Dept.He blamed the agency for obscuring details about its work & said that its employees were not cooperating w/reasonable questions from the incoming #Trump admin.
Secretary of State #MarcoRubio, now the supposed acting administrator of #USAID, said that he has “delegated” his authority to someone but did not identify that person.
Rubio tapped #PeteMarocco, the director of foreign assistance at the #State Dept, to begin reviewing all of the work done by #USAID.…
…In early 2023, online sleuths who aided the FBI in cases against hundreds of #Jan6 rioters identified #Marocco & his now-wife as being among the rioters who stormed the Capitol…, pointing to multiple images of them on the Capitol grounds that day & CCTV video that shows…Marocco entering the Capitol through a broken window.

@Nonilex The Trump Executive Branch is now trampling all over the federal government. The Judicial and Legislative (congressional) branches had better wake up soon.
