A top Biden administration official who leads the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) said there’s no evidence Ukraine misuses the tens of billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars provided in direct financial assistance.

“Up until this point, we don’t have any evidence that U.S. assistance is being misused or misspent but, again, the key is not resting on anybody’s goodwill or virtue,” USAID Administrator Samantha Power said during a CNN live town hall on Thursday.
