The House DOGE committee’s first hearing will be on ‘improper payments and fraud’

The DOGE subcommittee’s first hearing will be on “improper payments and fraud.”

The House’s DOGE committee has scheduled its first hearing for Wednesday, February 12, according to a notice obtained by B-17.

The House Oversight Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency, chaired by Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, is set to hold a hearing entitled “The War on Waste: Stamping Out the Scourge of Improper Payments and Fraud.”

The subcommittee, though separate from the Department of Government Efficiency led by Elon Musk in the executive branch, is set to be one of the main public forums on Capitol Hill for Democrats and Republicans to clash over the Trump administration’s efforts to reorganize the federal government.

There are also “DOGE” caucuses in both the House and Senate, where lawmakers in both parties have been discussing legislative proposals to improve government efficiency.

A spokesperson for Greene did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

On Monday, Greene sent a letter to the CEOs of PBS and NPR asking them to testify at a hearing in March about whether they should continue to receive government funding.
