Government Watchdog Can't Verify Most of DOGE's Savings Claims

A government watchdog reported on August 6, 2026, that it could not verify 96% of the $110 billion in savings DOGE said it achieved. DOGE did not provide enough information to check its work. Senators Peters and Blumenthal requested the review, covering January 2025 through July 2026. DOGE, shut down in July 2026, was never an official government department.
