From Wired:
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) is auditing Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
The probe, which has been ongoing since March, covers DOGE’s handling of data at several cabinet-level agencies, including the Departments of Labor, Education, Homeland Security, Health and Human Services, the Treasury, and the Social Security Administration, as well as the US DOGE Service (USDS) itself, according to sources and records reviewed by WIRED. …
The audit, according to records reviewed by WIRED, is broadly centered on DOGE’s adherence to privacy and data protection laws and regulations. …
The GAO is part of the Legislative Branch so Trump can’t fire the Director of GAO for having the audacity to audit DOGE.

Good, DOGE could use a good enema, the more hands the better, dig deep and keep digging. There are plenty of skeletons to uncover.
The head of the GAO gets fired in 3...2...1...
DOGE is fighting fraud, waste and abuse…check that.
An unsigned agreement between the US DOGE Service (USDS) and the Department of Labor (DOL) provides significant insight into the evolving working protocols between DOGE and federal agencies.
Notably, the agreement, obtained by WIRED, calls for the DOL to reimburse the USDS up to $1.3 million for work done by four DOGE affiliates, or “a slightly different number,” over an 18-month period. The agreement also includes a section titled “scope of work” that details how DOGE will operate with the DOL. Together, these aspects of the agreement give the clearest look yet at how DOGE's relationships with government agencies may be structured.
I'm surprised the GAO is still in operation.
Interesting
Sounds like Trump is tired of President Musk and SICCING GAO on DOGE!
It’s a festivus miracle!
No need to dig deep. DOGE’s mishandling of our private data has been apparent to anyone who has been watching
My first job in Government was for the GAO then called the General Accounting Office. Yes, under the supervision of Congress and not part of the Executive Branch. That is why there was a specific unit that actually was responsible for processing the pay check for the President.
I suspect the idea of an audit doesn't bother these guys one bit.
Funny that DOGE found rampant fraud in SSA with 10's of millions of dead people receiving benefits, yet not one perpetrator of this fraud has been prosecuted or even arrested.
So close….
Elon Musk—key adviser to President Donald Trump and leader of the Department of Government Efficiency—said he expects the agency will find $150 BILLION in savings from “reduction of waste and fraud” in fiscal year 2026, a number significantly lower than the $1 TRILLION he said last month he was confident DOGE would find.
