It’s official: There’s now a Department of Government Efficiency and it reports directly up to Susie Wiles, President Donald Trump’s chief of staff.
Trump late Monday issued an executive order — one of many Day 1 executive actions — formally establishing DOGE as an agency housed within the Executive Office of the President.
The executive order in some ways upends the notion that DOGE would be nothing more than an unofficial advisory board with no formal role in the federal government.
