Trump's DOGE effort ends July 4 with no final tally, no rebates

The Department of Government Efficiency will not issue a closing report when it officially ends July 4, Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought said. The $5,000 rebate checks it once floated for taxpayers never came.

"We have no plans to do kind of a closing DOGE report," Vought told Rep. David Joyce, R-Ohio, chairman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Financial Services and General Government, during a Tuesday hearing.

DOGE's own website reports $215 billion in total savings, or $1,335.40 per taxpayer using an estimate of 161 million federal taxpayers.
