(NewsNation) — Nicholas Enrich, acting assistant administrator for the U.S. Agency for International Development, was fired after sending a memo about the agency’s failure to implement “lifesaving humanitarian assistance.”
Two USAID sources told NewsNation that Enrich, in a six-page letter to the entire agency, said Secretary of State Marco tried to unfreeze several pools of funding that he found to be critical aid.
However, Enrich wrote, Rubio was overruled and ran into bureaucratic hurdles.

The sources said Enrich was let go shortly after the memo was sent out and that they found the timing troubling and not coincidental. The prevailing feeling within USAID, the sources said, is that Enrich was let go as retribution.
