Less than two months ago the State Department hosted members of the White Helmets at Foggy Bottom. At the time, the humanitarian group was showered with praise for saving lives in Syria.
"Our meetings in March were very positive. There were even remarks from senior officials about long-term commitments even into 2020. There were no suggestions whatsoever about stopping support," Raed Saleh, the group's leader, told CBS News.
Now they are not getting any U.S funding as the State Department says the support is "under active review." The U.S had accounted for about a third of the group's overall funding.
President Trump put a freeze on the $200 million in U.S. funding for recovery efforts in Syria in late March.
U.S. officials are working to see if there is a way to adjust existing funding to cover the costs for these projects. They are also trying to get other countries, such as Germany, to cover some of the costs.

“This is total madness. These lying bastards staged these non existent “gas attack in Syria!!! We bombed a sovereign country on a hoax. I had no idea we funded the hoax!!!”
That’s only the tip of the iceberg, it’s much, much, worse - and has cost the lives of half a million Syrians and driven millions more Christians out of the country.
If you REALLY want to see just how badly we’ve been played by the media, the Left, and the Neocons, just watch this show showing the REAL Syria, the Syria under Assad - and then think of side we’ve been funding and arming, whose people are either “Moderate Opposition”, ISIS, or Al Quieda, depending on which side of the bed they wake up on for a given morning.
I DARE anyone to watch this:

Makes you wonder how many more of these phony NGOs the State Dept is funding around the world.
This group supported the hoax gas attack by Syria.
About time we stopped funding these terrorists.
If CBS likes them, that is more than enough to raise great suspicions in we, the treat unwashed (who also possess far more common sense).
Audit their books. Any NGO or other government funded group should have their books audited now.
I don’t know, but just about every major western nation is funding this organization.
<p.
Very suspect.
this must end. Trump got punked on this scam. Nicky Haley is DEEP STATE!!
You could buy Syria for 200M.
Lets please stop throwing $ at countries who hate us.
