Trump Suggests Musk Effort at Treasury Found Irregularities
- There could be a problem with Treasuries, Trump says
- Trump made comments amid DOGE scrutiny of government payments
President Donald Trump suggested that Elon Musk’s government efficiency team has found irregularities while examining data at the US Treasury Department, and intimated that may lead the US to disregard some payments.
“There could be a problem, you’ve been reading about that, with Treasuries,” Trump told reporters Sunday on Air Force One en route to the Super Bowl. It wasn’t immediately clear whether he was talking about US government debt, or payments processed through the Treasury Department.
