Here, Samantha Power, the former administrator of the USAID proudly highlights the agency’s role in influencing “strategically important elections” by using the “Democratic Elections Fund.” She also discusses how USAID funds journalists—not only to report the news but also to “fact-check” incoming information.

USAID has directed nearly $500 million into the secretive, U.S. government-funded NGO Internews Network. This organization has collaborated with 4,291 media outlets, produced 4,799 hours of broadcasts in a single year—reaching up to 778 million people—and trained over 9,000 journalists as of 2023. IN has also supported social media censorship initiatives.

Furthermore, USAID has funded and trained thousands of lawyers, judges, and election workers, conducted polls questioning election legitimacy, published reports alleging fraud, and played a role in overseeing new elections—both domestically and abroad—among other activities.
