After taking an ax to the U.S. Agency for International Development, Peter Marocco largely faded into the background. But today, he resurfaced — continuing his campaign to dismantle the U.S. African Development Foundation.
“Posting for @USADF,” Marocco wrote on his X account on Tuesday morning. “Follow for U.S. African Development Foundation notices and updates.”
