Vance Holds DOGE Savings Press Conference With Musk and Vought

The figure combined confirmed contract cancellations, projected future savings, and reclassified spending items; the GAO and independent budget analysts subsequently noted that the administration's savings accounting used methodologies that differed from standard federal auditing practice in ways that inflated the totals.
