USAID employees are reportedly destroying documents, although the White House insists only a small number of employees are destroying “old, mostly courtesy content.” What do you think of this?
From The Epoch Times. Some U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) employees have received instruction to empty classified safes and destroy agency records …
Post a prayer for your state!
The Democracy Forward and Public Citizen Litigation Group filed an emergency motion on behalf of the unions for a temporary restraining order to stop any destruction of evidence within USAID.
In its motion, the unions included a screenshot of an email from USAIDās acting executive secretary, Erica Carr, directing employees to clear out āclassified safes and personnel documentsā from the agencyās office in the Ronald Reagan Building starting 9.30 a.m. on Tuesday.
āShred as many documents first, and reserve the burn bags for when the shredder becomes unavailable or needs a break,ā Carr wrote in the email. The contents of the documents are unclear.
The unions alleged that Carrās directive violates the Federal Records Act (FRA), which requires federal agencies to preserve internal records, and could destroy documents pertinent to their litigation to block the Trump administration from dismantling USAID. …
The motion states that the plaintiffs had sought information from the Trump administration about the destruction efforts at USAID and were told the matter was under investigation.
However, the unions requested that the court intervene to stop the agency from destroying any documents while their litigation is ongoing.
White House deputy press secretary Anna Kelly stated on social media that the email was sent to āroughly three dozen employeesā and that the documents being destroyed were outdated.
āThe documents involved were old, mostly courtesy content (content from other agencies), and the originals still exist on classified computer systems,ā she stated on the social media platform X about the concerns. …
What do you think of the destruction of these documents? Share your thoughts and prayers below.

We need to pray for Putin to come to Christ as his Savior and those in authority in Russia.
Lord please give those who have the decision making power your wisdom and your strategy. Let there be no cover up that would dismiss accountability
It sounds like the USAID office employees, especially the administrators, want to hide something. Why else would they be destroying records? Lord, I pray that any improper actions within this agency would cease, and that the truth will be revealed. Thank you Jesus.
I think it is obvious that the folks involved are trying to destroy evidence and are breaking the law to cover their actions. It is disturbing that they have been giving access to the property again to be able to do so!! I fully support President Trump and Elon Musk in their effort to save American taxpayer money and fully believe that the ones shouting the loudest against it are the ones who are violating our trust in the government to work on our behalf and are abusing the system to their advantage. It makes me so upset to know that the taxes I am obligated to pay are being used so disgracefully. God please bless President Trump in his efforts to make things right. Please turn aside all the fiery arrows of the devil and protect him and his family and staff as they proceed forward.
Sounds suspicious to me, to be done when they are under investigation, they should have their hands off of doing anything that would damage the investigation. I pray, in Jesus Name, that all would be exposed, and righteousness would prevail in our government.
Those employees need immediately dismissed from their jobs! Escort THEM to the curb!
USAID Employees should be locked out of the building until all records have been examined and proof is kept safe so all waste and fraud can be proven!
I am so thankful for Mr Musk and Pres. Trump. Stay humble and true to God! Prayers for USA
Sure looks fishy and sends a message of hiding something: maybe desperation to hide embarrassing documents? The wonderful thing about our all powerful God is that no matter how the unjust behave, lie, scramble to hide evidence of fraud and illegal money laundering, He always brings about the truth. Maybe soon, maybe later, but His throne is established on righteousness and justice. He will have His way.
That’s the end of the game. I choose to pray and trust God to give our elected President and his cabinet the ability to see to it that justice is achieved. May they each be protected from all evil plots and schemes.
Amen
I agree.
In my thinking, what other choice is there, except to pray that our Lord moves to eradicate deception and bring honesty as much as possible will go forward. It is too overwhelming to think about otherwise.
Lord, I pray and believe that You will over see these actions of shredding these certain documents mentioned in this article, of usaid- and bring your truth to darkness. Help us Lord to stay focused on your goodness and healing power.
In Jesus name, Amen
Odd time to start shredding!!!
With so much criminal activity, especially in the last 4 years, (all under the name of puppet Biden) why would they not want to get rid of all this information. Taxpayer money going to crazy programs, perhaps the money was laundered and returned to ?? How did so many of our government officials become so wealthy. Obama is worth millions and had nothing when he arrived, I believe he didn’t even own the home they lived in Chicago. As they say “follow the money”. Yes, I believe they are shredding as fast a possible…..
I PRAY FOR THE TRUTH TO PREVAIL & JUSTICE DONE!
In my opinion, questions need to be answered before a knee-jerk reaction. Who are the āplayersā in this scenario? Who is Democracy Forward? Public Citizen Litigation Group? And which unions?
In perusing the aforementioned (named) groupsā websites, both are biased and left-wing. Public Citizen Litigation Group even asks for donations to support āfighting, suing, and organizing against the Trump regime.”
I read Anna Kellyās X post, regarding the destroying of documents. Sheās calling the uproar āmore fake news hysteria.ā Or, as my grandmother used to say, āmuch ado about nothing.ā
After researching the āplayersā, it may be just that, in THIS case. The question is why? Why would left-wing players NOT want the documents shredded? Could it be that this uproar had little to do with the documents and more to do with these groups getting publicity and promoting their āget Trumpā agenda? And/or maybe to throw shade on an extremely important cleanup-mandate that is being carried out by DOGE?
On a side note: Why do these types of people vehemently, and yes, murderously hate a man who is doing exactly what the majority of We The People asked him to do by our vote on November 5 (i.g. clean up the corruption!)? This man has done nothing to warrant such hatred. So, why? We know we are in a spiritual war, however, how could they justify their loathing in the natural?
The enemy is cunning and loves to cause confusion. We cannot underestimate him or his minions.
We need to all walk in Holy Spirit wisdom in everything and in ALL news commentary. He knows the exact truth and will guide accordingly. With His guidance, we all need to be citizen journalists and search for that truth.
Thank you, Shara, for this info. I had a sense there was more to the story, and to be honest I hate doing on-line research. My hubby wasn’t available when I commented!
You’re welcome. š
Right now, with USAID undergoing scrutiny, the timing connected to destroying “ANY” documents is meant to hide something! It is infinitely clear,, that Erica Carr is taking “seemingly useless, old” documents, and making them a #1 priority! One must ask why? When new leadership is coming to the fore, why is an “old” employee finding this “shredding process” so important? At this point, with new leadership, I don’t feel it’s Carr’s business to suddenly direct the destruction of any records! As several of us mention below, she obviously has something she wants hidden from new, fresh eyes! Stop the process before it starts!! I might add, Erica Carr knows how to bring attention to herself! Does she think nobody will notice?
Burn down the whole place and cancel everything.
Start again with Americans and asociated territories only receiving aid.
Hiding stuff is being a liar essentially! RIGHTāļø
What do they want to hide by destroying documents?
If they are burning documents, E-mails, then they have something to hide…period!
Prosecute them. Fire them and anything else you can legally do to make an example of their traitorous ways.
Father God forgive us for this NGO and its division in countryās its warping minds and causing chaos and deception to force others to do wicked things .Bring to light everything we need to repent for and hold them accountable in Jesus name
It’s hard to believe the documents are “outdated” considering the timing of the directive to destroy.
Nothing, no text, emails, hard copy documents of any kind should be destroyed until the investigation into USAID and its funding to other organizations is completed. The American public deserves full transparency of this sham organization and we are entitled to know where the taxes taken from our paychecks have gone.
ā courtesy contentā. They are also shredding the English language.
Amen. Thank you for that observation.
Acronyms, in my opinion, need to go as well
This is a word from our Lord concerning the works of the ENEMIES past endevours, present and future schemes:
āTHE HIERARCHIES STANDING, POWER (grid) AND PRESENCE ARE REMOVED TO BE NO MORE SEEN OR LISTENED TO; THEIR WELLS OF DESTRUCTION REMOVED; LIKE A āA STYE IN THE EYEā THAT CAUSES SIGHT TO BE MARRED AND FESTERING IRRITATION. THIS IS SO HEALING CAN COME AND RESTORATION ESTABLISHED AGAIN FROM THE. CONTAMINATIONS OD SINS DOMINANCE OF CRAZE AND FAZE! NEW THINGS ARE ON THE HORIZON FOR āCHANGE OF THE QUARDā HAS BEGUN, USHERING IN MY SON, MY HOLY SPIRIT AND MY SONS AND DAUGHTERS IN HOLY UNISON!ā
Correction od was meant to be of
Father, I concur that you give the Trump administration wisdom and guidance concerning USAID. Let everything be in line with the way you purpose it to be done. Convict their hearts to involve you in everything they do. Thank you Father. I ask this in Jesus name, amen.
Sure must be a LOT (of un-Con$titutional behavior$) to hide! Father, …Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.
Heavenly Father, You know the workings of the tactics being used in this. Both Democracy Forward and Public Citizens Litigation should be forthcoming in who they are. Legal experts who are running a multimillion $ campaign thru Democracy 2025 against this current administration. Please grant us insight and wisdom as we pray. Let us be diligent in the underpinnings and communication we receive. Thank You for placing Marco Rubio in a position of authority over USAID. We know a battle is in works. Bring peace where chaos is attempting to deceive. Sound record keeping is occurring, thank You for it. As we come to You in truth, be our guide. Thank You Lord! In Jesus mighty name. Amen.
Amen, Peg. Normally I would be opposed to destroying any records, but now that I know about the agenda of the organization fighting this destruction, I am not sure what to think. But I am confident that God know what is going on and what needs to be done, which is why I say “Amen” to your prayer.
Post online for 72 hours before destroying. Open to the public
Perhaps, before destroying anything and be accused of doing the Hilary post for 72 hours for public to see what us being destroyed.
What do I think about this youāve asked.
Itās another perfect example of how our government is continually disrespecting āwe the people..ā If it were one isolated incident, I would consider that. But every time we turn around, we find that dark truths, evil things are being hid from us. For the believer, All of these things are our wake up calls to begin to pray and change things. We may not know what was on those documents, but we now know that they are being destroyed. Thereās only one conclusion one may reach in that scenario. They did not want us to know what those documents said.
Father, we ask that you would continue to unearth all of the hidden evil that it might be prayed over! Amen
Itās like they have things to hide. Lord, let what is done in secret be brought to the Light.
Such flagrant disrespect and disregard for the laws of our land. Sheesh. Twisting and manipulating the truth and calling evil good. We put all this under our feet and call truth to the forefront. For the good of our children. If the depression of education is for the good of children they need to comply with the Trump agenda for the people. Thatās us. ā¤ļøāš„
I meant department. Not depression. What we have is depressing. What we will receive for our children will be uplifting and meaningful.
Think of it – some day, you will pass on. Don’t you want some evidence of your life in Christ to be uncovered afterwards??
Unbelievable. What are they trying to hide? That they’ve been sending trillions to anti-American groups?
And he should be fired immediately and the building closed. Anyone involved in the destruction needs to be jailed also.
It seems to make sense that destroying documents is only for the purpose of hiding truth. It makes them look guilty.
Hmmm…
Lord I pray that we are not seeing destruction of things that are needed to insure this agency is being dismantled into something good and not the many evil things that have been purposed through it in the name of good but were really spreading evil agendas around the world.
Jesus deploy your angels around the capitol to watch over this and other agencies that are trying to hide their trail of evil intent.
In Jesus name we pray.
Heavenly Father, I pray You continue to bring to light every act of corruption in our government and I pray that Your justice be served. More importantly, Lord, I pray that our ENTIRE government returns to a focused relationship with You and that all of their motives and decisions stem from a heart and mind that is rooted in that relationship with You. Help bring our country and our world to a place that is pleasing to You. In Jesus’s mighty and powerful name I pray. Amen.
Is a criminal act…they should be prosecuted
USAID should not burn or destroy ANY dicuments. Period.
Why would they be doing that NOW??
O Lord, You have told us to expose the deeds of darkness (Eph 5:11) & that our sin will find us out (Num 32:23). So we ask for Your supernatural & divine help to the Trump Administration to continue to expose the deeds of darkness & sins committed by those linked to USAID & every other Federal agency to be found out in every possible way & restitution be made by those linked to USAID & the other Fed agencies. Only You can stop these corruption cover ups from continuing. In Jesus Name.
Despicable corruption cover up.
I believe they should be held accountable. And except punishment
I think Carr and all who followed her directive should be in jail right now until the information on the documents has been investigated. All those documents belong to We The People. Remember Hillary Clinton destruction of all information probably proofing her guilt. Nobody from that group got investigated. God bring Your righteous judgement upon all who continue to break laws and undermine Your plan for the USA. Stand strong on the wall, invite others, and trust in Godās perfect plan. ššš
Dear Father ,Aprehend and bring to Justice every man and woman who is guilty of stealing American money to renegade people who have been plotting against our countryās interests and our people. Thank you Holy Father in Jesus mighty name,Amen.
Praying Amos 5:24. “But Let justice run down like waters and righteousness like a ever flowing mighty stream.” amen.amen.
Amen!
They are evil dems filled with corruption and destroying any documents says that they are hiding info because they kick backed money to many dems and rinos throughout the last 55 years. Thieves, liars, murderers describe these people to a t.
Carr needs jail time for destroying papers .. why would USAID save those papers ?
Abba, I have no clue who these people are that are cited in this article, but I would prefer that no agency operating under the previous administration be allowed to shred or burn anything. Please intervene, and allow everything that needs to be exposed, to be exposed.
Lord, we pray that they will not be able to destroy anything that will be needed for their litigation but only documents that are obsolete. Keep bringing to light everything that they’ve tried to keep in darkness.
Amen!
