Okay, so he was actually an American.

Okay.

Did you know him prior to working at ADF?

Zeyu has now admitted that Gokor didn't do any work but kept more than $100,000 and paid him $12,000 in kickbacks.

The rest was used to pay bills for the agency, making it look like more money was going to Africa instead of bureaucratic overhead.

That was just one troubling example I found, and others involved officials beyond just ZEHU.

Just really brazen levels of fraud, as you've outlined.

So USAID has already been abolished, as we've reported.

I'd imagine that this agency is next to go.

You'd think.

Hours after ZEHU's plea deal was announced, Senator Mike Lee introduced an amendment to abolish the African Development Foundation.

But it failed.

Here's Lee.

Republicans acting alone could have, would have, and should have

defunded this today.

But instead, what was the result?

Well, it was defeated.

All Democrats voted to table it, and they were joined by just enough Republicans, just a small handful of them, to table this measure with a vote of 58 to 42.

I look forward, let's just say, to hearing my colleagues explain this vote.

Daily Wire editor-in-chief Brent Scherr asked all 11 Republicans why they voted not to defund this agency, and none replied.
