At 3:15 in this video: "the President chose to take actions that he didn't even have the authority to take".
That was never rebutted by any Republican present.

Trump engaged in insider trading and capitulated to China and the EU. He even admitted that he got scared.

The fact that Byron York, out of the loudest shouters about the dangers of a “deep state,” can suggest it’s illegitimate to identify the people who have been given unprecedented power to change the government shows how utterly lost to nonsensical fascist propaganda some “conservatives” are.

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID.
This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC.
What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

The Trump administration blamed Biden for a $400 million federal government contract with Elon Musk's Tesla to build armored electric vehicles. But NPR obtained documents showing the Biden administration only approved $483,000, not the $400 million that the Trump-Musk administration wanted.

The State Department claimed a plan to buy thousands of armored Teslas was left over from the Biden administration. A document obtained by NPR shows the Biden plan was far smaller.
