President Donald Trump says he trusts Elon Musk and his DOGE initiative that has challenged career employees across the federal government and seemingly forced its way into sensitive systems at the Treasury and other agencies.
The president sat down this week for an extended interview with Fox’s Bret Baier, set to air ahead of the Super Bowl. In an excerpt released by the network ahead of broadcast, Trump is asked about his faith in Musk — whose DOGE team lacks any kind of congressional authorization or approval — and asserted that his newest billionaire best friend was not in a position to gain anything of value from his Cabinet-adjacent position.
