# GAO finds DOGE overstated $110 billion savings 2026-08-06T20:40:51+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet A US government watchdog has found that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) exaggerated its savings claims. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) report, released on August 6, said only 4% of the $110 billion figure DOGE posted on its “Wall of Receipts” could be verified with solid evidence. DOGE took credit for 108 leases that were already being cancelled before it existed and claimed savings from contracts that were never altered. The GAO also noted that DOGE officials did not respond to requests for information during the review. ## Coverage - timesnownews.com - hindustantimes.com Tags: DOGE, Elon Musk, GAO, government spending, US politics Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/us-watchdog-finds-doge-overstated-taxpayer-savings/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
