The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) referred a U.S. Institute of Peace accounting data deletion allegation to the Department of Justice (DOJ), a DOGE staffer said on May 1.

DOGE leader Elon Musk and his team sat down with Fox News host Jesse Watters for an interview that aired on Thursday, describing some of the advisory commission’s findings as it audits various federal agencies.
