With rumors spiking in Washington that President Donald Trump is about to radically reshape the U.S. Agency for International Development, Democrats in the capital are scrambling to figure out how to respond.

One senator went there directly: On Monday morning, Sen. Andy Kim tried to get inside the agency to meet with its acting administrator, Jason Gray.

After less than 10 minutes in the lobby and in the presence of four security officials, Kim was told he could not meet with Gray or any member of his staff.
