US stock futures dip as Nvidia earnings spark little cheer
Investing.com -- House Democrats are demanding more clarity from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a part of President Donald Trump’s administration, regarding its efforts to manage potential conflicts of interest in billionaire Elon Musk’s initiative to downsize and streamline government operations.
On Wednesday, Representative Gerald Connolly of Virginia sent a letter to the acting DOGE Administrator Amy Gleason. This letter was seen and reported on by Bloomberg News. In his letter, Connolly requested a comprehensive list of all paid and unpaid DOGE staff, along with information about any external jobs they may have. He also inquired about the measures DOGE is implementing to prevent ethical conflicts.
This request is the most recent exchange in an ongoing back-and-forth between the Musk-led initiative, which aims to significantly reduce federal spending and tackle fraud and abuse, and the Democrats. The latter have described the initiative as lacking organization and being fraught with conflicts.
