OMB Says It Will Not Produce a Closing Report on DOGE

At a June 30, 2026 House Appropriations subcommittee hearing, Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought said the administration has "no plans to do kind of a closing DOGE report," responding to a request from Chairman David Joyce (R-Ohio) for documentation of what the Department of Government Efficiency accomplished in dollars saved and positions cut. DOGE's mandate, established by a January 2025 executive order, was set to expire July 4, 2026. The group claimed roughly $215 billion in savings — figures experts have disputed — while more than 260,000 federal employees left government under DOGE-related efforts.

The absence of a formal after-action accounting limits the ability of the public and Congress to independently verify DOGE's claimed results or the costs of its rapid staffing cuts, some of which agencies later reversed by rehiring.

Vought said OMB remains willing to share its assessment informally. The fiscal 2027 budget request contained no mention of DOGE, and the DOGE.gov website went offline earlier in the month.
