Congress asks Trump to explain what Elon Musk and DOGE are doing at federal agencies

^{Published on 2025-02-05 02:20:45 - fox13now}

Senior members of House oversight committees have asked President Trump to explain why Elon Musk and members of the Department of Government Efficiency are trying to access government agencies.

The article from Fox 13 Now discusses a letter sent by members of Congress to President Trump, requesting an explanation regarding the involvement of Elon Musk and the cryptocurrency Dogecoin in federal agencies. The letter, penned by Representatives Katie Porter, Bill Foster, and Jake Auchincloss, expresses concerns over potential conflicts of interest and the influence of private individuals in government operations. Specifically, they are questioning the role of Musk, who has significant business interests, and the use of Dogecoin, a cryptocurrency often seen as a meme, in any official capacity within federal agencies. The representatives are seeking clarity on how these entities might be affecting policy decisions, regulatory frameworks, or the allocation of government resources. The letter highlights the need for transparency to ensure that public interest is not being overshadowed by private gains.
