Washington, D.C. – Today, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul released a statement on the Biden-Harris administration’s failed Gaza pier operation following a report from the Office of Inspector General (OIG) at USAID.

“USAID OIG’s evaluation of the Biden-Harris administration’s $230 million pier boondoggle for Gaza aid is both shocking and damning. In pursuing this resource-intensive failure, the administration repeatedly disregarded the advice of its own subject matter experts. It is no surprise to see that the project fell far, far short of its goals in delivering aid. I will pursue further discussion with USAID OIG in the coming days to get a better understanding of how American taxpayer money was wasted in such a ridiculous and irresponsible way.”
