Nearly 40% of contracts canceled by DOGE are expected to produce no savings: Report

Nearly 40% of the federal contracts canceled by the Trump administration are expected to yield no savings, according to DOGE's data.

Charles Tiefer stated, 'It’s like confiscating used ammunition after it’s been shot when there’s nothing left in it.'
DOGE claims that overall contract cancellations will save more than $7 billion, a figure questioned by independent experts.
