There are only THREE co-equal branched of the Federal Government. Executive, Judicial and Legislative. ALL of those departments in DC fall under the Executive Branch - of which the President is the head. Not the Judicial or Legislative. Trump has every right to call for a fiscal audit of monies spent by those departments. Elon Musk was tasked by the President to do so.

The Left is claiming that what DOGE is doing is illegal. I don't see it that way.

If Merrick Garland can appoint a 'Special Council' without Congressional oversight like Jack Smith to investigate Trump, then Trump has the authority as President of the United States to appoint a 'Fiscal Inspector General' to oversee all US Government spending. Hiring an 'outside consultant' is not unheard of in the Private Sector...

Best explanation so far...

Yeppers. Pretty much like this...
