ProPublica: Pence's office pressured USAID to award grants to Christian groups in Iraq

Washington Vice President Mike Pence's office and political appointees have been pressuring the US Agency for International Development to direct its Middle East funding to preferred Christian groups in Iraq, an effort that career officials warned could be unconstitutional, ProPublica reports.

USAID last month announced grants to two Iraqi organizations that had been previously been rejected, ProPublica reported on Wednesday.ProPublica, which cited internal emails and nearly 40 current and former US officials and aid professionals for its report, said political appointees -- who typically are not involved in USAID grants -- had significantly influenced the latest grants USAID awarded.

pence you are going down with your playmate too just a matter of time

How about the people that getting killed in the street seeking their basic human rights like jobs, security and infrastructure? Oh I forgot you president cares only about oil

No kidding it’s illegal!!!

Screw the career officials they work for the federal government

DaunCrowe No Mike, not that kind of transparency!

Like VP cares if it’s illegal never stopped him in the past

oh ffs … everything dems do is unconstitutional .. report that

There M. R Pence goes again group praying away the pesky rules yep the perfect VP to Trump

Of course CNN would have no problem with money being funneled to Muslims though... right? Maybe this image can help you understand where the vast majority of the money goes... not exactly Christian strongholds. CNN just hates Christians, Conservatives, & America in General!

So usaid says nothing wrong is being done but you push your agenda of someone thinking it happened so of course you jump on anything against the admib

Good Job Pence! 👍🏼

While enabling genocide of Christians in Syria. Make absolutely zero sense.

Surprise, surprise! Go figure!

He's probably just trying to give parity.

I am just simply not willing to believe anyone in the current administration would do anything unconstitutional.

Maybe the Constitution’s requirement for separation of Church and State does not apply to Evangelicals.

I really hate fake Christians like Pence.

Did you also give him the debate question CNN?
