DOGE and United States Institute of Peace

 

Each year, the United States Institute of Peace (USIP) receives $55M in congressional (taxpayer) funds. - Prior management would sweep excess funds into its private Endowment (zero congressional oversight). -In the past 10 years, USIP has transferred ~$13M to its private Endowment, mainly used for private events and travel. USIP contracts (now cancelled) include: - $132,000 to Mohammad Qasem Halimi, an ex-Taliban member who was Afghanistan's former Chief of Protocol. - $2,232,500 to its outside Accountant, who attempted to delete over 1 terabyte of accounting data (now recovered) after new leadership entered the building - $1,307,061 to the Al Tadhamun Iraqi League for Youth - $675,000 for private aviation services
