Doge Expands Spending Review Powers | Trump Signs Eo
The Trump administration has signed an executive order expanding the Department of Government Efficiency's (DOGE) powers to review federal spending activities, including contract and grant approvals. As part of this expansion, agency employees will be required to submit written justifications for individual payments, and agency heads will have the ability to pause and rapidly review any payment without justification. The move is part of DOGE's efforts to reduce federal spending and increase efficiency in government agencies.
