DOGE ignored basic Congressional oversight requests, refuses to meet with Democrats, and operates in secrecy. If they won't tell us the truth, we'll FOIA it.

... Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland and Rep. Gerald Connolly of Virginia are seeking detailed information about the authority of the Department of Government Efficiency Service, including billionaire Trump adviser Elon Musk and some 40 other people, to carry out firings of federal workers and dismantling of federal agencies.

They also are requesting detailed information about DOGE's access to sensitive data, its use of artificial intelligence, the resumes and training of its staff and its communications related to Musk-held entities including SpaceX, Starlink and Tesla.

"The Administration and Mr. Musk have hidden behind a veil of secrecy as they systematically dismantle the federal government of the United States," the Democrats wrote in a letter to DOGE administrator Amy Gleason accompanying the FOIA request, which was obtained by the AP.

"The American people deserve answers, and we are committed to using every tool at our disposal to expose the truth about DOGE's operations." ...

Where are all the fraud charges and prosecution?

Fraud is a crime. So there is a criminal attached to it somewhere.

Falsely claiming fraud in order to justify undermining and destroying a federal agency and firing employees for the sole purpose of revenge and retribution is also fraud. And we know exactly who those fraudsters are.

Lock them up!!
