Two senior security officials with the United States Agency for International Development were placed on leave by the Trump administration after refusing to hand over classified documents to a Department of Government Efficiency inspection team, according to a report.
The two USAID security officials, John Vorhees and deputy Brian McGill, were legally required to deny Elon Musk’s government inspection teams access to the documents since they did not have the proper security clearances to access the documents, a current and former U.S. official told the Associated Press on the condition of anonymity since they were not authorized to discuss the matter.
