Watch: Karoline Leavitt Confirms ‘Horrible’ DOGE Discovery

As the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) continues to dig through the dense layers of federal bureaucracy, a startling revelation has emerged—one that former President Donald Trump has labeled as “horrible.”

While the specifics of the discovery remain under wraps, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt acknowledged the breakthrough, though details are still forthcoming.

“There has been a discovery. I hate to leave you hanging on a cliff, but I don’t want to get ahead of the president on that,” Leavitt said Tuesday in a video shared on X.

“But I can confirm there has been a discovery; it’s just not quite yet ready for release,” she added.

Just last week, Trump noted that DOGE—an initiative led by Elon Musk—had uncovered something significant. As quoted by Roll Call, he stated the team had found “millions of dollars of fraud and abuse and waste” and emphasized that “they’re still going. I mean, they’re going strong.”

“They’re finding, they found something today that’s horrible. It’s horrible,” Trump said.

He added, “So what they found, you’ll find out very soon. What they found is incredible, and, uh, I give him a lot of credit. He’s got some very smart people with him.”

DOGE provided an update via X on Wednesday, highlighting its continued work cutting unnecessary government spending.

“In the last two days, agencies terminated 108 wasteful contracts with a ceiling value of $205M and savings of $70M,” the post read.

Among the canceled contracts were “a $14K [Health and Human Services] contract for an ‘executive transformational leadership training program’ and a $5.2M [Office of Personnel Management] contract to ‘provide strategic advisory and assistance to improve and transform current processes and organizational systems.’”

Fox News also reported that DOGE recently slashed $51 million from the U.S. African Development Foundation budget, which included funds for projects like mango drying facilities and promotions for shea butter and pineapple juice.

Meanwhile, the House Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency is tackling another major inefficiency—unused federal buildings. According to a release on the House Oversight Committee’s website, the subcommittee is assessing how to eliminate government-owned structures that no longer serve a purpose.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who chairs the subcommittee, highlighted the financial burden of these properties.

“American taxpayers have been drowning in debt, inflation, unaffordable grocery prices, high interest rates, and have been suffering to get by, all while the federal government is pouring billions of dollars into wasteful empty office buildings and luxurious, high-end furniture, which they — the American taxpayers — can’t even afford for themselves,” Greene said.

She continued, “The Government owns several hundred million square feet of office space alone. But these office buildings are generally old, underused and falling apart.”

“Federal agencies shouldn’t be maintaining empires at taxpayer expense,” she concluded.
