Here’s How Democrats Reacted to DOGE Reviewing Treasury Payment System

 

Democrats, including Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), held a press conference on Monday to rail against the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) for reviewing payments made by the Department of the Treasury after Elon Musk was granted access to the payment system, which revealed questionable payments made by the U.S. government.
