House Speaker announces DOGE leaders Musk and Ramaswamy to visit Capitol Hill next week

House Speaker Mike Johnson on Wednesday announced that Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk, who will lead President-elect Donald Trump's new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), will meet with Congress on Capitol Hill next week.

Trump tapped the pair for the roles earlier this month, after promising on the campaign trail to create a taskforce that would rein in government spending and corruption. The department is expected to "dismantle Government Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies." 

Johnson said that the meeting on Capitol Hill, which is slated for Dec. 5, will focus on “major reform ideas to achieve regulatory rescissions, administrative reductions, and cost savings—& revive the principle of limited government."

Iowa Republican Sen. Joni Ernst and Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene will lead an official DOGE caucus and subcommittee, respectively. Republicans will control both chambers of Congress and the White House next year.

More details on the meeting, such as the specific time and place, have not been released so far.
