Revealed: USAID'S $40B Shadow War

Drop Site News and European media partners revealed apparent connections between USAID, CIA, and OCCRP in relation to Trump's 2019 impeachment.

A CIA analyst-turned-whistleblower's complaint heavily cited OCCRP reporting about Trump's interactions with Ukraine.

A 2024 German documentary reportedly showed USAID's significant control over OCCRP, including approval of work plans and key personnel.

OCCRP's co-founder Drew Sullivan allegedly pressured German broadcaster NDR to censor the documentary.

The investigation revealed OCCRP's initial funding came from the State Department's Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs.

OCCRP's leader claimed responsibility for government changes in "five or six countries."

The article suggests USAID functions as a $40 billion driver of regime change abroad.

The whistleblower complaint focused on Trump's alleged pressure on Ukraine to investigate the Bidens.

OCCRP threatened legal action against Public over questions about these allegations.

The controversy centers on whether domestic agencies illegally interfered in U.S. politics using methods typically reserved for foreign operations.
