Chuck Schumer, the Senate minority leader, citing a “rumor” that Trump planned to dissolve USAid as an independent agency, said in an X post that such a move would be “illegal and against our national interests”.

It's only illegal if he were to be held accountable, and the Supreme Court has already decided that's not possible (with Congress also giving precedent by not convicting him during Impeachments).
