John Bickley

attorney for D.C.

announced that Matthew Zahue would plead guilty to one of the actions laid out in Luke's story, admitting to accepting bribes and lying to law enforcement.

Luke joins us now to discuss.

So, Luke, first, remind us what exactly this agency is.

Hey, John, absolutely.

The African Development Foundation is a federal agency that not many people knew existed until it became a hero to Democrat politicians and some media outlets when its staff locked the doors to prevent Doge auditors from entering.

So back in May, I spoke to a number of former staff who told me the agency would send money to African groups to

which made it look like it was fulfilling its mission.

Um, but then the African groups would send the money, part of the money back to the U S to do things like pay staff at its DC office and, and their friends.

And so this agency was getting such support from Democrats in the media that when I showed up at Zay Hugh's house in may and told him I was a journalist, he gladly spoke with me.

Take a listen.

One instance involved no-bid contracts to an African company called Gannium Limited, which was owned by a friend of Zayhu's named Mena Gakor.

One of those contracts was for travel during COVID when nobody was traveling.

I asked him about that.

It was like 800,000 total.

Oh, okay.

Yeah.

Because they didn't do like $800,000 worth of work?

So the grant is... So Gannium did have a grant?

How did you know the owners?
