Greene threatens criminal referrals at House DOGE hearing
by Sarah Fortinsky - 02/26/25 7:26 PM ET
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), chair of the House Oversight Subcommittee on the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), threatened to make criminal referrals during a hearing on foreign aid on Wednesday.
“This committee, based on this hearing and witness testimonies, will consider recommending investigations and criminal referrals,” Greene said, at the start of her questioning.
The remark followed opening statements from several witnesses, including one who accused USAID of supporting terrorists, lacking proper oversight and engaging in “potentially criminal” activity.
“This committee should take action to ensure that the Department of Justice acts on it and does everything [in] Congress’s power to not just investigate but refer criminal actions to the proper authorities,” said witness Gregg Roman, executive director of the Middle East Forum, during his opening statement.
