Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., and Democratic Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker are calling for an investigation into the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), previously led by Elon Musk, as talks have heated up among Democrats to launch a probe into the multibillionaire.
"I had no specific plan," Raskin told Fox News Digital about the potential investigations. "Look … DOGE was a catastrophe for America, and at least one committee, I feel pretty certain, will investigate it. It needs to investigate it."

The tech CEO helped launch DOGE at the start of President Donald Trump's second term to root out waste and be more transparent about the federal government's spending.
DOGE's efforts included deferred resignations and buyouts of employees at federal agencies and contributed to a significant downsizing of the federal workforce, which was reduced by about 250,000 employees during 2025, according to the Government Accountability Office (GAO).
Calls for investigations into DOGE also started over concerns about the department allegedly having access to Americans’ sensitive information.
"I mean, the whole thing was premised on a lie, and our private information was completely compromised by it," Raskin said.
Despite Pritzker saying he had never "heard anything like that" about a potential probe of Musk and DOGE, he agreed that DOGE is worthy of an investigation.
"I think there should be a lot of inspection of what DOGE did," Pritzker told Fox News Digital. "I think that was pretty awful."
But Pritzker didn’t seem so sure that needing an investigation into DOGE also warranted an investigation into Musk himself.
"I don't know about focusing on one person," Pritzker said when asked about investigating Musk.
Democratic lawmakers have also suggested looking into Musk’s companies' multibillion-dollar contracts with the federal government and, more recently, his role in cutting internet access to the Ukrainian military.

Pritzker has a family private equity venture group, that own a lot of companies that would spill into discovery. Their fingers are into big stuff.
Lawfare is no longer a dirty word. The DOJ should take this opportunity to expedite the cases against Ilhan Limu and Eric Swallowswell and Letitia James and....HA! Sometimes I make my own self laugh.
They’re going to try to put USAID and all that other corruption and theft back into action. I hope Trump has his veto pen at the ready.
And don’t forget- Soros and ActBlue....
Them too.
Jamie Raskin is a dangerous psychopath and is so bad for this country.
Ah. So Pritzker started to sweat more than usual when he heard “only the guilty need be worried” about wealthy men who are involved in enterprises the Dems and Socialists hate and that make money. He’s not exactly a minimum wage employee himself.
DOJ has already blown two years with zero significant convictions. Let’s see if they can blow the last two.
Pam Bondi wasted over a year. Trump needed an Eric Holder.
Exactly. The only “awful” part of DOGE is that it exposed their scams.

DOGE exposed the NGO’s that were giving BIG BUCKS to Dems that is what DOGE exposed and that is why commies wanted DOGE to be destroyed, so we wouldnt find out about the grift. Notice in Latin America, it swung right, well that is what happens when you get rid of leftist NGOs
Yes, but Senate had to confirm whomever.
demoncRATS lost a lot of money via DOGE’s cleanup. That’s why those nasty corrupt demoncRATS are going after DOGE.
Make Musk made and he’ll pickup all his stuff and move to another country ,LOL
No wonder they are aiming for Musk.
