MTG to chair DOGE congressional subcommittee to work with Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy on cutting government waste

Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene is expected to be named as the chair of a forthcoming House subcommittee that will work with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) led by entrepreneurs Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy.

A source familiar with the matter said that House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer is expected to establish the subcommittee, with the subcommittee being named the Delivering on Government Efficiency Subcommittee. It will focus on eliminating fraud, waste, and abuse in the federal government, and is expected to investigate wasteful spending, identify solutions to eliminate bureaucratic red tape, and look at ways to reorganize federal agencies to increase efficiency.

A source familiar with the matter told Fox News that Comer has met with Ramaswamy and the incoming DOGE team. Ramaswamy confirmed the meeting with Comer and Greene to the outlet. Ramaswamy is "supportive of the Oversight Committee’s endeavor and are already working together," the source told the outlet.

A spokesperson for Ramaswamy said, "A key step to driving greater efficiency in government is exposing the problem to the public—we are grateful that the House Oversight Committee has created a subcommittee to focus on this work. We look forward to working together."

Comer said that the new subcommittee "will align with the Trump administration’s priorities to eliminate government waste, streamline the federal government’s operations and cut red tape that’s stifling jobs and increasing costs for the American people." He added, "I look forward to working with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to deliver on these goals to Make America Great Again."

"I’m excited to chair this new subcommittee designed to work hand in hand with President Trump, Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy and the entire DOGE team," Greene said in a statement. "We will identify and investigate the waste, corruption and absolutely useless parts of our federal government."

Greene said the subcommittee will provide "transparency and truth to the American people through hearings." She said that "no topic will be off the table" and "the goal of DOGE is to bring accountability and GUT useless government agencies."
