Here you go, from a five second Google search: https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/usaid-official-and-three-corp...

There are others but I suspect there is no quantity or quality of examples that would change your mind.

Keep in mind that the fraud that is discovered and prosecuted is usually only a small fraction of what actually exists.

Evidence from the same corrupt administration that illegally destroyed USAID is not valid.

Thank you for confirming my suspicion that no evidence can convince you.

Valid Evidence can convince me but I've seen first hand that the Trump administration gleefully and shamelessly lies.

All politicians lie. They also tell the truth when it’s convenient and serves their political goals.

What makes you think this is the Trump administration lying about fraud versus them shining a light on actually fraudulent organization that you believe was doing a good job?

You tell me: what kind of Valid Evidence would convince you one way or the other?

"All politicians lie." This is a stupid thought terminating cliche Trump supporters endlessly repeat because in fact Trump lies far more than any politician I have ever seen in my 49 years of life. He lies so much I'm not even sure he can tell the difference between his lies and reality.

"What makes you think this is the Trump administration lying about fraud"

Because they lie constantly about absolutely everything.

"what kind of Valid Evidence would convince you one way or the other?"

Evidence that comes from people not involved with destroying USAID.

It may be a cliche, but that doesn't mean it isn't true, and your dismissal of it is an indictment of your unwillingness to discuss this issue in good faith.

Yes, Trump is an ass. I don't dispute that, and if you think I am then you have been reading your own bias into my comments. For the record, you brought him up, not me. I'm just arguing that what happened to USAID was net good, and there's plenty of evidence that demonstrates that.

If your standard of evidence is "people not involved with destroying USAID", then you should accept what I just provided you as evidence. None of the people involved in this investigation were involved in dismantling USAID. The case goes back to 2013, before Trump was even in office. It involves people who were working at the IRS, FBI, and DOJ all before Trump was even president in 2016.

But that would require you to actually click the link and read it, consider its merits, and rework that new information into your worldview, and either present a reasoned argument why you still don't consider it valid evidence, or change your opinion on the matter.

Given the preceding comments I'm guessing you're too blinded by your hatred to be able to do that.
