Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism.
In June, the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction's office (SIGAR) dispatched letters to Secretary of State Blinken and Samantha Power complaining that the State Department and USAID were stonewalling its investigation of waste, corruption and terror cash.
Instead of turning over the information, Blinken and Power's people have lawyered up
Illegally refusing to cooperate with an inspector general and then using State Department lawyers to impede any investigation in a matter involving possible terrorist financing is shocking.
Beyond terrorism financing, the State Department and USAID have spent months stonewalling the inspector general's office on matters such as "the settlement of Afghan refugees" and wouldn't even reveal "funding information regarding its ongoing programs in Afghanistan."
The Biden administration is determined to prevent any scrutiny of taxpayer money going to terrorists
As the United States approaches $800 million in spending in Afghanistan after the Taliban takeover, there is no way to know how much of the money is going to Islamic terrorists.
And the State Department and USAID have violated federal law on obstructing audits and investigations while experiencing no consequences.
