JUST IN: KARI LAKE TESTIFIES UNDER FIRE — BLOWS OPEN USAGM CORRUPTION, SECURITY FAILURES & DEEP STATE PROPAGANDA MACHINE
Ready to uncover the truth? Sick of the lies? Join our Telegram Channel now. It’s time for the real story! My gratitude to all my readers!
Kari Lake detonates USAGM in brutal testimony exposing deep corruption, security failures, political bias, and taxpayer betrayal. What was meant to defend America’s voice abroad has become a compromised, mismanaged, Deep State propaganda arm. Cleanup is no longer optional — it’s urgent.
KARI LAKE TESTIFIES UNDER FIRE: FULL STATEMENT BEFORE HOUSE FOREIGN AFFAIRS COMMITTEE
“This place is rotten. It’s rotten to the core. President Trump has asked me to go in and help clean it up… That’s exactly what I’m doing. I don’t care if they attack me. We’re going to make it right for the American taxpayers.”
Opening Statement by Kari Lake
Before the House Foreign Affairs Committee Hearing on “Spies, Lies, and Mismanagement: Examining the U.S. Agency for Global Media’s Downfall”
Lead Statement:
Kari Lake, Trump Administration Senior Advisor to the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), issued a searing indictment against the agency’s operations, testifying before Congress on the depth of mismanagement, foreign infiltration, political bias, and taxpayer abuse within the agency charged with representing America to the world.
“My name is Kari Lake…”
“Good morning and thank you Chairman Mass and Ranking Member Meeks and members of this House Foreign Affairs Committee. Thanks for having me. My name is Kari Lake, I’m the Trump administration senior advisor to the U.S. Agency for Global Media. Before I get started, Mr. Chairman, I’d like to let you know this opening statement I’ll be delivering is a shortened version of a longer version that I have submitted to you earlier and would love to be put into the Congressional Record.”
On Trump’s Appointment & Early Discovery of Corruption:
“Last December, President-elect Donald Trump called me and asked if I would help reform U.S. Agency for Global Media and the Voice of America, and I said yes. I was honored and eager to help these institutions tell America’s story to the world. But within days in my role as senior advisor, it became increasingly clear that reform was nearly impossible. The agency was incompetent and mismanaged and deeply corrupt, politically biased, and frankly, a serious threat to our national security.”
Scope of the Agency & Structural Failures:
USAGM oversees VOA, Office of Cuba Broadcasting, and grantees like Radio Free Asia, Radio Free Europe, Middle East Broadcasting Network, Open Technology Fund, and Frontline Media Fund, all 100% taxpayer funded.
“Over the past 15 to 20 years, the agency has become a significant national security risk. They hire a shockingly high number of foreign nationals and they conduct subpar security vetting—so bad that top intelligence agencies revoked this agency’s ability to do even the most basic background checks. So many of USAGM’s hires come from countries hostile to the United States.”
Ignored Security Warnings & Vanishing Staff:
“From 2010 to 2020, the Office of Personnel Management and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence repeatedly flagged severe security failures, but USAGM leadership ignored them.”
“They granted high-level security access based on falsified documents and incomplete background checks—phony names, phony Social Security numbers.”
“Even after corrective actions were taken in the final months of the Trump administration, these safeguards were reversed by the incoming Biden administration. The scale of the problem is staggering.”
“They discovered that out of 150 people who were hired during that time period, 500 of them were still out there and they could not find them… Foreign employees with Social Security numbers that are fake and fake names, given top-secret access, now missing—that keeps me up at night.”

Foreign Spies & Misuse of Visas:
“We’ve also uncovered that the grantees like Radio Free Europe hired people later identified as foreign spies.”
“They abused the J-1 visa program, which is a pathway to citizenship intended for exchange students and cultural exchanges… It’s not intended for journalists and has created severe vulnerabilities and frankly, it has displaced many, many American workers who could have filled these jobs.”
Political Bias & Propaganda:
“VOA also sidestepped their charter to be reliable, authoritative news. Instead, being riddled with political bias and outright anti-American sentiment.”
“Examples include refusing to call Hamas terrorists, glamorizing Che Guevara, airing campaign-style videos favoring President Biden, even broadcasting a graphic depicting President Trump with a swastika over his face on their news.”
“I wouldn’t want that, by the way, even if it was President Biden. That’s totally inappropriate.”
“A ridiculous editorial firewall prevents agency leadership like myself from correcting any of the bias.”
Financial Mismanagement & Abuse of Funds:
“$75,000 spent for a COVID study on how mats and computers can be used for social distancing.”
“$100,000 in American taxpayer money to actually sponsor an Afghan cricket team.”
“$400,000 for quid pro quo payments to African VOA affiliates—and they actually wrote ‘quid pro quo’ next to the budget item.”
“$825,000 for a New York music show, and a $6 million contract for consulting advice that was never even implemented.”
Internal Threats & Criminal Activity:
“I’ve just learned that there is an active investigation going on at VOA for a series of threatening phone calls… discovered to be coming from inside the Voice of America.”
Final Statement:
“This place is rotten. It’s rotten to the core. President Trump has asked me to go in and help clean it up, and he’s also issued an executive order to reduce this agency down to its mandate—to what is statutorily required. That’s exactly what I’m doing. I don’t care if they attack me. We’re going to make it right for the American taxpayers.”
“And with that, I’m happy to answer any of your questions.”
