US EditionDOGE Quietly Disbands 8 Months Ahead of Schedule
DOGE was closed eight months early without achieving stated savings targets, and key staff were reassigned, officials confirmed.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, disbanded eight months early as Reuters reported, with key personnel shifted across agencies.
- Established in January to cut waste, DOGE claimed tens of billions in savings without detailed accounting, and the Office of Personnel Management has absorbed many former DOGE functions and now manages its operations.
- A Politico analysis found DOGE's budget cuts equaled 5% of claimed savings, some staff remain embedded at agencies, and at least two former employees moved to the National Design Studio.
- White House spokeswoman Liz Huston said President Trump was given a clear mandate to reduce waste, fraud and abuse, and the hiring freeze ended without furloughs for DOGE staff.
- Looking toward the planned timeline, critics say DOGE failed to deliver promised savings, and Wilson stated, `'I was told that DOGE was going to create trillions and trillions of dollars in cuts from wasteful government spending and as it turns out it was a net negative.
