Summary

Jeremy Lewin, a senior Doge appointee overseeing the shutdown of USAID, faces allegations of misogyny, racism, and violent behavior, according to a Rolling Stone investigation based on interviews with 10 acquaintances.

Claims include threatening a girl with a knife, physically assaulting a student, and making racist remarks, including support for the Great Replacement Theory.

Lewin signed USAID’s closure notice and previously worked with legal scholar Laurence Tribe.

The Trump administration and DOGE have not responded. The report follows previous scandals involving controversial Musk-backed hires.
