GAO: 96% of DOGE's $110 Billion in Claimed Savings Cannot Be Verified

The GAO reported on August 6, 2026, that DOGE failed to provide sufficient information to verify the methodology behind 96% of the $110 billion in savings it posted on its "Wall of Receipts." The audit, requested by Senators Peters and Blumenthal, covered data from January 2025 through July 2026. DOGE, dissolved in July 2026, was never an official government department.
