After businessman Elon Musk announced that President Donald Trump had agreed to opened the US Agency for International Development, a notice was sent to its Washington office instructing staff to stay away from the organization’s office on Monday.
Over 600 employees reported being locked out of the company’s computer systems overnight, according to USAID staffers. The HQ building may be closed to agency staff on Monday, February 3 according to emails sent to those still in the program. Afterwards, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he has been made “acting chairman of USAID” and that he would quit its “insubordination” to Trump’s plan.
