In a press conference from the White House on Friday aside Japan's Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, President Donald Trump said he has directed the Department of Government Efficiency, headed by Elon Musk, to look into Pentagon spending.

"We're going to be looking at Department of Education. We're going to be looking at even our military. We're going to be looking at tremendous amounts of money, Peter, being spent on things that bear no relationship to anything and have no value. We're talking about trillions of dollars. It will be, in the end, trillions of dollars being absolutely wasted and perhaps illegally, I would say, certainly in many cases, illegally, but perhaps illegally overall.



"And I'm very proud of the job that this group of young people, generally young people, but very smart people, they're doing. They're doing it at my insistence. It would be a lot easier not to do it, but we have to take some of these things apart to find the corruption. And we found tremendous corruption."


 

In a follow-up question, a reporter asked whether Trump had directed Musk to review Pentagon spending, to which Trump replied, "yes I have, Pentagon, Education, just about everything." In November, the Pentagon failed its seventh-straight audit and could not fully account for the $824 billion the Department of Defense (DoD) is allocated.
