Summary

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt struggled to justify claims of government fraud during a press briefing, despite weeks of investigations by Elon Musk’s DOGE.

Instead of proving fraud, Leavitt pointed to contracts that simply conflicted with Trump’s policies. When pressed by reporters, she claimed wasteful spending was fraudulent without offering evidence.

Meanwhile, Musk’s team has accessed sensitive data from multiple federal agencies, raising concerns about privacy and oversight.

    How do Trumps press secretaries say stuff with a straight face. Last time was the same. Trump spews nonsense and she smiles and repeats it.

      They use a lot of words that they don’t know the meaning of, like fascism, woke, and Christianity, to name a few.

      I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. There’s so many comments on there being like “oooooh they didn’t expect her to have that much evidence. Get WRECKED libs.” How can anyone see that and genuinely think any evidence of any type of fraud was provided in any way? Like the reporter immediately said afterwards, this all just looks like spending that they don’t like and somehow that proves it as fraudulent.

      Somebody make it make sense. How are these adults.
