“Lie: Trump claimed that DOGE had identified “hundreds of billions of fraud in federal spending.”
Fact: … It has only shown evidence of $18.6 billion in savings… So far, it has actually not identified any fraud…
Why: …the downsides to slashing and burning through the federal government are considerable and are costing him politically.”
