DOGE ‘doesn’t exist’ with eight months left on its charter

US President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has disbanded with eight months left to its mandate, ending an initiative launched with fanfare as a symbol of Trump's pledge to slash the government's size but which critics say delivered few measurable savings.

“That doesn't exist,” Office of Personnel Management Director Scott Kupor told Reuters earlier this month. Itis no longer a “centralised entity,” Kupor added, in the first public comments from the Trump administration on the end of DOGE.

The agency, set up in January, made dramatic forays across Washington in the early months of Trump’s second term to rapidly shrink federal agencies, cut their budgets or redirect their work to Trump priorities. The OPM, the federal government's human resources office, has since taken over many of DOGE’s functions, according to Kupor and documents reviewed by Reuters.
