Trump was fully within his legal authority to create the Office of Domestic Economic Growth (DOGE) by repurposing the U.S. Digital Service (USDS), which was originally established by Obama in 2014 to improve government transparency and track financial inefficiencies. Using existing executive reorganization powers and laws like the DATA Act (2014) and the Fraud Enforcement and Recovery Act (2009), Trump expanded USDS’s scope to investigate fraud, waste, and potential money laundering within government spending. Since DOGE is not a new agency but an extension of an existing framework, claims that it is illegal hold no weight—especially considering that it operates under Obama-era transparency initiatives.
The intense pushback against DOGE suggests it is uncovering financial corruption that some do not want exposed. Investigations have already revealed billions in missing aid, fraudulent nonprofits, and suspicious foreign fund transfers, all within public financial records. If there was truly nothing to find, there would be no need for outrage—but instead, critics are scrambling to shut it down. At its core, DOGE is simply following the money, and the louder the opposition gets, the clearer it becomes that something is being hidden.
