President Donald Trump confirmed that while he has not set defined limits for Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), he supports its mission to reduce government waste. Lawmakers, especially Democrats, are concerned about DOGE's access to sensitive information and plans for agencies like USAID. Trump emphasized that Musk's team is capable and tasked with investigating areas such as education and military for fraud and abuse. The potential impact of these investigations on previous governmental functions has raised constitutional concerns regarding the separation of powers.
Well, we haven't discussed that much. I'll tell them to go here, go there. He does it. He's got a very capable group of people.
They're finding massive amounts of fraud, abuse, waste, all of these things. So but I will pick out a target and I say go in.
There could be areas that we won't, but I think everything's fertile. You know, we're a government. We have to be open.
Musk's move to close USAID has alarmed lawmakers and federal government employees as unconstitutionally usurping Congressional power.
