Donald Trump likes Elon Musk, and trusts Elon Musk.
President Trump completely helps the Elon Musk effectivity audit that has already uncovered fraud in quite a few areas inside companies the place there’s been spending on objects that Congress by no means mandated.
In actual fact, Mr. Trump goes to broaden Musk’s remit to incorporate auditing the Training Division and the Pentagon. And there might be extra.
Here is how I put it this morning on Fox Information Channel’s Outnumbered.
“The Elon Musk train is about programs, and effectivity, and supply. It isn’t altering insurance policies on the fly. Therefore, there may be nothing improper with an audit… They’re discovering judges, okay, who’re all barely to the left of Whoopi Goldberg… There’s nothing constitutional, there’s nothing coverage about this.”
Lawyer Basic Pam Bondi will likely be shifting quickly to vacate numerous restraining orders placed on many Trump actions, together with the Elon Musk funds programs opinions.
Curiously, not one of the left-wing judges opposing Trump have used any case regulation to this point. Division of Justice appeals could should go all the way in which as much as the Supreme Court docket. In the event that they do, hopefully the Supremes will act expeditiously.
However the entire level of the Musk operation is transparency and effectivity in spending taxpayer {dollars}.
Moreover, Elon Musk and DOGE employees are federal authorities staff. They’ve been on-boarded, acquired ethics coaching and data coaching, have gotten interim clearances, and, based on Fox Information Authorized Editor Kerri Urbahn, the concept profession staff can have entry to delicate data — however political appointees mustn’t — is preposterous on its face.
There’s nothing unconstitutional about any of this.
Then comes a bunch of former Democratic Treasury Secretaries writing within the New York Occasions that effectivity audits within the Treasury Division may someway impede U.S. monetary commitments, even reaching into the credit score worthiness of Treasury bonds. That is absolute Democratic hogwash.
As present Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has discovered, “controls for spending of the earlier [Biden] administration have been unacceptable. They have been sending cash out with out realizing the place the cash was going.”
Final week, Scott Bessent informed me on this present in Washington, D.C., “they’re shifting lots of people’s cheese right here within the Capitol and, if you hear this squawking, then some establishment curiosity just isn’t joyful.”
