House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer tapped Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) to chair a new subcommittee that will work with President-elect Donald Trump’s new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
DOGE, led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, although not a formal government department, will act as an advisory commission aimed at tackling government waste, fraud, and inefficiency as part of an aggressive push to streamline government operations under Trump’s administration.
Greene celebrated the appointment — first reported by Fox News Digital — on X.
“I’m excited to chair this new subcommittee designed to work hand in hand with President Trump, Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy, and the entire DOGE team,” Greene said.
She continued, pledging to “identify and investigate the waste, corruption, and absolutely useless parts of our federal government.”
“No topic will be off the table,” she added. “The goal of DOGE is to bring accountability and GUT useless government agencies… [as well as] expose people who need to be fired.”
Speaking to Fox News Digital, Comer said that Trump’s “landslide victory reflects a clear mandate to address inflationary spending that’s driving up the cost of living for hardworking Americans.”
“Wasteful government spending must end, and taxpayers deserve to see their money used effectively and efficiently,” he added.
