The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) officially ended operations on July 4 after completing the mission outlined in President Donald Trump's executive order.
According to the report, the department said its formal work had concluded but emphasized that efforts to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse across the federal government should continue beyond its closure.
The report said DOGE was established after President Trump renamed the U.S. Digital Service and directed federal agencies to provide broad access to unclassified records and information systems.
Amy Gleason served as acting administrator, while Elon Musk led the initiative during its early months as a special government employee.
However, critics questioned the program's overall financial impact, with the nonprofit Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility arguing that the administration's deferred resignation program imposed significant costs on taxpayers despite its stated goal of improving government efficiency.
