TOP TRUMP USAID STAFFER ACCUSED OF VIOLENT OUTBURSTS, RACIST REMARKS [View all]
APRIL 1, 2025
The lawyer working for Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) who now leads the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has a history of violence and racist remarks, 10 people who knew him allege.
Jeremy Lewin recently became deputy administrator for policy and programs for what’s left of USAID, according to an email sent by the State Department. Lewin previously helped DOGE dismantle the agency, according to news reports. On Friday, Lewin signed an email officially shuttering USAID and announcing a major reduction in force.
In the email, which indicated most of USAID’s staff would have their roles eliminated, Lewin wrote that he, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and other top officials “are grateful for your continued service to our great nation.” He continued: “I would like to offer a special thank you to those of you who, even amid considerable personal and professional uncertainty, have remained steadfastly committed to serving the agency and its important mission. You exemplify the very best ideals for public service and will not be forgotten or overlooked in this transition process.”
Lewin has prestigious institutions and law firms on his resume, and he’s worked with a renowned liberal scholar and clerked for a progressive jurist. But his ascension at USAID, America’s foreign aid bureau, has sparked concerns among people who have known him over the years.
