The Government Accountability Office (GAO) has released a report detailing the employment and ethics activities of 206 personnel from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) within the Executive Office of the President (EOP) from January 2025 to January 2026. These individuals were part of the U.S. DOGE Service (USDS), the White House Office, and the Office of Management and Budget.

The report also notes that the Trump administration did not provide necessary documentation to support claims of ethics training and record management compliance.
