<p>House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said on Monday that Republicans in the nation&#8217;s capital support the efforts being led by Elon Musk to make the U.S. government more efficient.</p>
<p>Johnson was asked by a reporter if the Trump administration should comply with court orders that have instructed the Department of Government Efficiency to halt some of their activities and whether they should destroy some sensitive records that they have downloaded.</p>
<p>The speaker said that as the legal process unfolds Republicans remain &#8220;fully supportive of what the DOGE effort is doing and what the President is doing.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a very aggressive agenda that was promised to the voters. Remember, he&#8217;s delivering on campaign promises right now,&#8221; Johnson said. &#8220;We are going to be codifying a lot of these changes, and what they&#8217;ve uncovered is, frankly, shocking. There are a lot of expenditures of the federal government that Congress has not been aware of, in spite of our best efforts to do oversight, some of this has been hidden.&#8221;</p>
<p>Johnson said that DOGE is effectively an outside audit that is ripping open the books and finding expenses that have remained hidden for years.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are applauding that, this is what we have been wanting and trying to do for a long time,&#8221; he added. &#8220;So this is a good development. I wish the courts would allow the executive and the legislative branches to work, but we&#8217;ll see how all that develops.&#8221;</p>
