A lot of US taxpayer dollars went overseas and straight into the coffers of terror groups under the Biden administration. This is the kind of sunlight that's desperately needed in Washington D.C.:
https://dailycallernewsfoundation.org/2025/02/04/b...More than $1.3 billion in taxpayer funds from the Biden administration ended up helping groups that sponsored or committed terrorism.
Federal watchdog reports and other documents show former President Joe Biden’s aid programs funneled the money toward a network of terrorism in the Muslim world — largely by reversing Trump-era policies. National security experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation the new Trump administration must take the trend more seriously.The game works like this:
*US sends money to someone, usually the controlling authority
*There's no tracking of the cash so some is skimmed off for terrorism or whatever
*The rest is handed out under the auspices of the terror group or something
The largest share of Biden-era dollars linked to terrorism went to Palestinian organizations, Congressional Research Service records show.
The Biden administration gave $1,053,400,000 in taxpayer money to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), which claims to help war-afflicted Palestinian civilians but is tied to terrorists fighting Israel, according to U.S. and Israeli intelligence. Biden reversed a Trump-era ban on UNRWA funding in 2021 but brought back the ban last year after Israel accused UNWRA workers of participating in Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, attacks.
Intelligence officials later revealed that more than 1,000 UNRWA employees, or around 10%, were linked to the groups Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, according to documents found on the bodies of dead terrorists and other evidence. A dozen took part in the Oct. 7 massacre, including a Hamas commander who was teaching in elementary school for UNRWA and led a siege against an Israeli kibbutz that killed almost 100 people.

Expecting 'sunlight' from the Trump administration is like expecting Trump to 'drain the swamp'. You won't get either.
This is the kind of sunlight that's desperately needed in Washington D.C.
Trump/Musk are doing things to make government more opaque, not more transparent.

Fact Check: US UNRWA funding already halted in 2024, not by Trump 2025 order
Jan 28 - U.S. funding to the main U.N. agency for Palestinians was suspended in 2024 under the Joe Biden administration, but people online have claimed it was the result of President Donald Trump signing an executive order upon his return to office.
The order, one of many issued by Trump on Jan. 20, the day he was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States, temporarily suspended U.S. foreign aid pending reviews of existing development programs.

How Elon Musk boosted false USAID conspiracy theories to shut down global aid
Musk drove fringe viewpoints on USAID into the mainstream on X as the Trump administration halted the humanitarian relief agency’s work.
It's as if the whole Republican Party had gone QAnon crazy on us.
