Four top U.S. Democratic congressmembers are asking USAID’s acting administrator to respond to questions about President Donald Trump’s foreign aid stop-work order — and what they described as a “maelstrom of problems” that it’s created.

The lawmakers — Sens. Jeanne Shaheen, Gregory Meeks, Brian Schatz, and Rep. Lois Frankel — alluded to the potential takeover in their letter.
