A new House subcommittee will reportedly work with the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to help slash government waste.
The new Delivering on Government Efficiency Subcommittee will be established by the House Oversight Committee’s chairman, Representative James Comer (R-KY), and chaired by Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Fox News reported.
President-elect Donald Trump has tapped Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead DOGE, which he said will “dismantle Government Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies,” giving government an “entrepreneurial approach.”
Comer said the new subcommittee “will align with the Trump administration’s priorities to eliminate government waste, streamline the federal government’s operations and cut red tape that’s stifling jobs and increasing costs for the American people.”
He added 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,” Comer said.
Comer reportedly met with Ramaswamy and Greene recently to discuss the project.
“A key step to driving greater efficiency in government is exposing the problem to the public — we are grateful that the House Oversight Committee has created a subcommittee to focus on this work,” a spokesperson for Ramaswamy said. “We look forward to working together.”
Greene said the new subcommittee would bring “transparency and truth to the American people through hearings.”
“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. “We will identify and investigate the waste, corruption and absolutely useless parts of our federal government.”

“No topic will be off the table,” Greene said, adding that she expects the subcommittee “will expose people who need to be fired.”
DOGE will be a commission outside the government that will work with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to advise the president on what government bloat can be cut.
Musk said he plans to target overregulation and out-of-control spending.
“The world is suffering slow strangulation by overregulation. Every year, the noose tightens a little more,” the SpaceX founder and Tesla CEO posted last week.
“We’re going to make the spending lower … if we don’t we’re going to bankrupt the country,” Musk said during a town hall in Pennsylvania last month.
DOGE will operate on a deadline. Trump said it would finish its work by July 4, 2026, the nation’s 250th birthday,
