Trump’s Revenge On Raskin

One of the largest recipients of grant money from USAID — Global Communities — is based in the Maryland district represented by U.S. Rep. Jamie Raskin. Was Raskin receiving graft and kickbacks from Global Communities? That’s not been established. But Elon Musk has painted a dark picture, and Matt Morse TV is calling the Global Communities revelations “Trump’s revenge against Jamie Raskin.”

Trump has reason to seek revenge. Raskin was one of the most belligerent and loud-mouthed leftists on the U.S. House Select Committee on January 6th. This was the committee that pushed the hoax that Trump tried to orchestrate an insurrection by sending his “people” into the U.S. Capitol. Smug and self-righteous, Raskin led both impeachment efforts against Trump and has fought to keep him off the ballots.

Now, he will need to show he’s not been a beneficiary of Global Communities. In 2023 alone, the organization received $160 million through the U.S. Agency for International Development. The CEO of Global Communities is Carrie Hessler-Radelet. She served as head of the Peace Corps during Barack Obama’s administration. Here’s more from Matt Morse TV.
