    WATCH: Senator Exposes “Extensive” Forms of Fraud DOGE Has Discovered, Including Billions of Dollars of Untraceable Payments

    In huge news for those eagerly watching Trump tear through the deep state, Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) broke some major news about the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk. She revealed findings of severe government waste, such as an agency having twice as many credit cards as employees and billions in untracked taxpayer funds.

    This news aligns with the president’s broader aim to significantly cut federal spending. Trump’s drive started with an executive order, which expanded DOGE’s oversight, freezing agency credit cards and mandating payment justifications. Musk is ambitiously aiming for $2 trillion in cuts and has aggressively pursued federal fraud.

    Fraud is exactly what Lummis reported to Fox Business’s Maria Bartiromo, in a clip which was posted to X by popular investor Mario Nawfal on Feb. 28. She said, “DOGE is finding things that any business under control, but the federal government does not. Let me give you a couple of examples. They found an agency that had twice as many credit cards outstanding as there were employees at the agency.”

    The conservative senator explored other concerning examples of government waste. She explained, “They have found fields on computers that say where is this payment being made to and to whom is it being made for what, and those fields are empty; they’ve never been filled out. Money’s outgoing; we don’t know where it’s going, and it is not the worst of business practices, and it’s happening with billions of taxpayer dollars.”

    Maria Bartiromo, the host, said she had heard of other fraud cases with similar details. She said, “Yeah, I was reading that, that there were like more than four million credit cards or something, and there were two and a half or three million people working in government. How is that possible? People had dual credit cards, and then they were using those credit cards for what? Transport and trips and things like that?”



    The senator responded by saying this type of fraud is unacceptable in other government departments. She said, “That’s just it, Maria. We don’t know when I was state treasurer in Wyoming, the auditors would come into my office at the end of every fiscal year, and they were there for three months because I managed all the money of the state of Wyoming.”

    Lummis concluded her remarks by stressing the need for DOGE. She said, “We don’t to the federal government, and there’s absolutely no excuse for the irresponsible handling of U.S. taxpayer dollars. That’s what Elon Musk is looking at. He is finding waste, fraud, and abuse, and it’s extensive. ”

    In the comments under the post, users expressed their shock at the waste. One said, “As a private sector corporate employee for decades I have carried a company credit card. My expense reports were submitted weekly in painful detail. If anything looking even mildly questionable I got an email about it. The fact that there were this many credit cards floating out there likely getting paid with no accountability just blows my mind.”
