What did the New York Times investigation reveal about DOGE's claimed $16 billion savings from canceled government contracts?
The New York Times investigation found that DOGE's claimed savings were significantly overstated. Nearly half of the alleged $16 billion savings came from a single contract with Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency that was incorrectly listed as $8 billion, when its actual intended value was only $8 million - a 1,000-fold exaggeration. Further scrutiny of federal databases revealed that when accounting for this discrepancy, the actual savings from this particular contract amounted to just $5.5 million, not billions. This finding raises serious questions about the accuracy and transparency of DOGE's reported government contract savings.
