FIRST ON FOX: <\/strong>A group of President Donald Trump’s House GOP allies is leading a bill that would enshrine the Department of Government Efficiency<\/a> (DOGE) and its efficiency efforts in federal law, giving it some protection from various legal challenges over the next year and a half.<\/p>\n

“This creates a reporting structure that allows what DOGE is doing with the Cabinet to be relayed to Congress, which is our Article I authorities, which is really the idea of being good stewards of taxpayer funding,” Rep. Cory Mills, R-Fla., who is leading the bill, told Fox News Digital in an interview.<\/p>\n

The legislation more generally codifies Trump’s executive order directing Cabinet secretaries and heads of other executive offices to coordinate with DOGE on various government efficiency plans.<\/p>\n

It would give Elon Musk and DOGE<\/a> Acting Administrator Amy Gleason more standing to implement various cuts within the federal government, as part of Trump’s plan to cut federal waste.<\/p>\n

“What Elon has done is that he’s created kind of this algorithm that works in the background, that sifts through all of these different programs, 24 hours a day, to look at anomalies and how they’re being utilized, to go ahead and say, \u2018Hey, is this something for analysis? Is this something that we need to take a look at?\u2019” Mills said. “That’s really what this is \u2014 it’s about modernizing and maximizing.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The legislation is co-sponsored by House DOGE Caucus co-chair Aaron Bean, R-Fla., of which Mills is also a part.<\/p>\n

Reps. Byron Donalds, R-Fla.; Barry Moore, R-Ala.; and Michael Rulli, R-Ohio, are also helping lead the bill.<\/p>\n

If passed, such a bill would likely help shield DOGE from Democratic efforts<\/a> to block it from gathering federal government data.<\/p>\n

Musk and DOGE were recently ordered to turn over a broad array of records by U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan in response to a lawsuit by more than a dozen Democratic attorneys general.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
