In the aftermath of President Trump's inauguration, the Treasury Department was involved in discussions about accessing its payment system to review funding operations. However, revelations from emails indicate that the chief of staff aimed to allow Tom Krause, a software executive associated with an initiative to increase government efficiency, to halt U.S. Agency for International Development payments in light of Trump's executive order to pause foreign aid. This contradicts public statements made by Treasury regarding the purpose of granting access, raising questions about transparency and intentions behind the funding review process.
Emails reviewed suggest that the Treasury aimed to grant Tom Krause access to halt U.S.A.I.D. payments following Trump's executive order, challenging official explanations.
The Treasury's chief of staff indicated the necessity for access to the payment system to comply with Trump's order, undermining the stated operational efficiency goal.
