“USAID’s annual budget of $697 million including cash shipments to madrasas (Islamic schools), has inadvertently funded terrorist training camps and extremist groups,” Scott Perry gives World- shaking dirty details
A United States congressman, Scott Perry, has accused the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) of financing terror groups like Islamic State and al-Qaeda including their local affiliates such as Boko Haram.
Mr Perry made these remarks on Thursday during the inaugural session of the Congress’ Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency (DOGE), an advisory body created by US President Donald Trump, who appointed Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, to lead it.
The controversial advisory body was tasked to cut US government spending but has been accused of illegally interfering with or stopping the work of several government agencies, including USAID, which has had to stop all its operations globally.

While Mr Trump has repeatedly accused USAID of corruption, Mr Musk has described the embattled agency as a “viper’s nest of radical-left Marxists who hate America”. He also accused it of engaging in “rogue CIA work” and funding bioweapon research, including COVID-19.

Most of the allegations against the USAID have not been proven, and Mr Trump’s critics, including most Democrats, say he and Mr Musk are deliberately misrepresenting the work of the agency.
Terrorism financing
According to Mr Perry, the USAID’s annual budget of $697 million including cash shipments to madrasas (Islamic schools), has inadvertently funded terrorist training camps and extremist groups.
“Your money, $697 million annually, plus shipments of cash, funds ISIS, al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, ISIS Khorasan, and terrorist training camps,” he said in a minute video now circulating across social media. “That’s what it’s funding,”
He provided no evidence of his claim in the video with many Democrats saying Republicans are willing to demonise the US aid agency in order to kill it.
Mr Perry also faulted the USAID’s $136 million expenditure on building 120 schools in Pakistan. He alleged that the schools were never constructed.
