$50M for Condoms in Gaza: WH justifies Trump’s funding freeze, calls It ‘responsible measure’​


ET Online | Updated: 29 Jan 2025, 01:42 AM IST

The White House on Tuesday defended the Trump administration's decision to freeze all loans and grants disbursed by the federal government, a move which has caused confusion about the fate of trillions of dollars in funding. "This is a very responsible measure," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters in Washington, "It's incumbent upon this administration to make sure, again, that every penny is being accounted for honestly."

Rep. @NMalliotakis: “$50 million for condoms in Gaza…”

@abbydphillip: “STOP. That is a lie. That is false.”

Malliotakis (R) appears *shocked* Trump would lie. Google is your friend, congresswoman.

Among the USAID reports now taken offline by @elonmusk's "Doge" is the one I used on Tuesday to prove the US has spent exactly $0 on condoms for Gaza, not $50 million — false information the White House press secretary said she got from @elonmusk's "Doge" White House orders all federal staff to return to in-office work or resign – as it happened

For people who care about facts, and prefer not to be
lied to, here's the archived report Wayback Machine

They have not yet taken down this information on another State Department grant for Gaza, which I discovered was also not for condoms: At least five senior FBI leaders reportedly demoted or moved as Trump’s nominee is grilled by senators – as it happened

"Almost certainly not true" is such an interesting choice of language.

It's been a week and they have produced zero evidence of any such grant, and the press secretary did not include it on a list of wasteful spending by USAID today. As I reported, there was a $45 million grant to a UN agency for Gaza, but $0 for condoms At least five senior FBI leaders reportedly demoted or moved as Trump’s nominee is grilled by senators – as it happened

So, $60.8 million in contraceptives to other countries is way better than all of it just going to Gaza…🤡

If you do not want STDs, like HIV/AIDS running rampant and getting chances to mutate into
more virulent strains that could infect Americans, yes.

@DataRepublican showed it was much higher, Like over 100m, after that "debunking"

@RobertMackey
No, that was a bad guess; as I reported, the most likely grant they mistakenly guessed was for condoms (but was not) was
a different one for Gaza At least five senior FBI leaders reportedly demoted or moved as Trump’s nominee is grilled by senators – as it happened

[Quoted tweet]
🧵From funneling tax dollars to risky research in Wuhan to sending Ukrainians to Paris Fashion Week, USAID is one of the worst offenders of waste in Washington… all around the world. 🌎

This is why @POTUS, @DOGE, and @elonmusk are ending the nonsense. 👇

This list includes not a dollar of US funding for condoms in Gaza — why do you think that is? Probably because that's not true: At least five senior FBI leaders reportedly demoted or moved as Trump’s nominee is grilled by senators – as it happened
