Millions Given to Extremist Groups by USAID Through Secret Foreign Aid Program

A multiyear study reveals that the US Agency for International Development (USAID) funneled millions of dollars in funding to extremist groups tied to designated terrorist organizations and their allies, exposing a pattern of supporting violent extremism. The study found that USAID provided significant sums to groups affiliated with organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah, despite being designated as terrorists by the US government. These donations were made through various channels, including USAID's own programs and those of other international aid organizations. The report sheds light on a previously unknown aspect of the global fight against terrorism.
