CBS’s Jennifer Jacobs: “On DOGE and the fraud claims, Elon Musk in the Oval yesterday gave us some information on that. We are just wondering if there’s some proof, evidence — is the White House willing to share evidence of those fraud claims or can Elon Musk come to the Briefing Room and share material, evidence of what he is talking about?”
Karoline Leavitt: “Sure, I would love for Elon Musk to come to the briefing room. That’s why we had them go in the oval office yesterday, where I think he provided great answers. He was speaking in layman’s terms, speaking common sense to all of you in the media, but also to Americans at home, but I would say especially to all of you in the media because I think it’s a real fallacy that there is this alleged lack of transparency when it comes to DOGE. President Trump and Elon Musk have been incredibly transparent on what DOGE is doing. There is a X account with the DOGE handle. They are tweeting out what they are doing on a daily basis. They have a website where they are posting the receipts of the contracts that they are reviewing and the payments that they have stopped from going out the door — the secretaries of our departments have stopped going out the door. And I would also say that before it was Elon Musk making our government efficient and accountable, it was some unnamed bureaucrat that none of you knew. Elon Musk is the richest man in the world. He is also now one of the most highly scrutinized men in the world come alongside President Trump, because of what he is doing and the access that he is allowing. So, there is great transparency. As for the actual receipts, we are happy to provide them, and actually brought some today because all of you know I love to bring the receipts. We have contracts upon contracts that we can send and provide this information to you. Let me be very clear, we are not trying to hide anything. We have been incredible transparent and we will continue to be. These are screenshots of contracts that DOGE found across our government. This is a DEI contract, $36,000 for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. That is against the President’s policies and his America First agenda. This is a $3.4 million contract, a counsel for “inclusive innovation” at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, Department of Commerce, another DEI contract that DOGE identified. I can continue to go through these. Oh, I love this one, $57,000 for climate change in Sri Lanka. What is this doing to continue the interests of the American people? Absolutely nothing. These are the line items across the federal government that DOGE is identifying daily. They’re moving very fast. There is a lot of paper that we can show you, but we’re happy to do it. This administration has been more than transparent about what DOGE is doing. And here is one of their tweets that they posted about the mine, I believe this is in Pennsylvania, where the federal employee retirement system is being processed, did anybody know this was even happening in our country before Elon Musk talked about it in the Oval Office yesterday? A lot of Americans didn’t. So, we are providing transparency and accessibility on a daily basis when it comes to DOGE. I also have a DOGE daily report if anybody would like it of all of the things that they are identifying and finding. we are happy to provide this information to you. We are talking about it every single day.”
