Washington D.C. - A House committee is set to investigate the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), a government-funded organization responsible for overseeing international media outlets. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, chairwoman of the subcommittee, announced the investigation, citing concerns about potential mismanagement and 'rampant cronyism' within the agency.
