On Monday President Donald Trump’s special representative for foreign policy, Richard Grenell, told The New York Sun that the Biden administration interfered in the Romanian elections to help prevent the conservative candidate Călin Georgescu from winning. These statements from the U.S. official come at a time when massive government declassification and revelations of waste, fraud and abuse are coming to light under Trump’s agenda of ‘draining the swamp’ with the DOGE operation.
“According to Grenell, this information came to light while investigating Biden’s foreign diplomatic actions,” Remix said. “However, Grenell did not disclose much regarding specific actions from Biden or whether the Trump administration is willing to reveal them.”
Grenell first revealed this scandal on February 3 in a social media post where he discussed the USAID scandal.
“The Biden team spent U.S. taxpayer money to support left wing programs and candidates around the world. Conservatives around the world were targeted,” Grenell said February 3. “Romania is the latest example.”
The USAid programs were weaponized against people and politicians who weren’t woke.

Georgescu won the first round of elections but following unsubstantiated claims of Russian interference on the internet, the Romanian Constitutional Court annulled the results.
“Citing Russian interference in favor of the right-wing candidate, the socialist-leaning court ordered the entire election redone from scratch,” the European Conservative said.
Now it appears there was indeed foreign interference, but it came from the Biden administration.
“For those unfamiliar with the background, the Romanian Constitutional Court, despite the lack of proven fraud, ultimately invalidated presidential elections last year,” Remix reported. “The establishment candidate from the Social Democratic Party, Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu, did not make it to the second round. The highest result was obtained by the relatively unknown right-wing candidate Calin Georgescu, who conducted an effective campaign in social media, especially on TikTok.”
