President Trump Vows to Send Elon Musk’s DOGE to Probe Department of Education and Military: ‘We Will Find Hundred of Billions of Dollars of Fraud’


President Donald Trump vowed Sunday in a Fox News interview to direct Elon Musk to seek out waste in the military and the Department of Education.

In the 20 days since Donald Trump took office, he has unleashed a whirlwind of activity designed to cut government spending and slash the federal workforce. Defense spending is a newer target for Trump, with the 47th president first announcing at a Friday press conference that Musk’s DOGE will soon be looking to cut down at “the Pentagon, which is the military,” per the New York Times. U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer on Saturday blocked DOGE from accessing the Treasury Department’s payment system, citing the potential for “irreparable harm,” per CNN.
