President Donald Trump sat down for an interview with Fox News’s Brett Baier that will air at 3:00 pm ET Sunday before the Super Bowl and laid out plans for Elon Musk and the newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to continue their work to find fraud and waste throughout the US government.
The left has been in an uproar after Mush and DOGE turned their attention to the waste and possible fraud at USAID.
On Thursday, President Trump confirmed that “billions of dollars have been stolen at USAID and other agencies.”
Trump added, “This could be the biggest scandal of them all, perhaps the biggest in history. Democrats can’t hide from this one. Too big, too dirty.”
DOGE is also looking at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) staggering waste of “$100 billion of taxpayer money.”
On Wednesday, Musk’s team, along with two senior veterans from the agency, began meticulously reviewing the CMS’s payment and contracting systems, which are crucial for managing health insurance for approximately one in every four Americans, according to far-left USA Today.
Yeah, this is where the big money fraud is happening https://t.co/jXqXrlKDGp

Trump spoke with Baier to discuss what is next for Musk and DOGE.
“I don’t know if it’s kickbacks or what’s going on, but the people, look, I ran on this, and the people want me to find I’ve had a great help with Elon Musk, who’s been terrific,” Trump said.
Baier asked the President, “Bottom line, you say you trust him.”
Trump replied, “Trust Elon? Oh, he’s not gaining anything. In fact, I wonder how he can devote the time to it. He’s so into it. But I told him, do that.”
“Then I’m going to tell him, very soon, maybe in 24 hours, to go check the Department of Education. He’s going to find the same thing.”
“Then I’m going to go to the military. Let’s check the military. We’re going to find billions, hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud and abuse. The people elected me on that.”
