A three-year investigation by the House Foreign Affairs Committee has revealed systemic corruption within the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), a federal agency responsible for nearly $1 billion in government broadcasting funds. The investigation, led by Chairman Mike McCaul, found that USAGM improperly shielded a Voice of America manager accused of lying about her educational background and misusing taxpayer funds. The report highlights failures in addressing abuses of power, misspent taxpayer dollars, and employees falsifying credentials. The findings, which occurred under the Biden administration, have raised significant concerns about the agency's ability to ensure accountability and transparency in its operations.
